  12. 12. vt. [Etymology] C14: from Latin referre to carry back, from re- + ferre to bear1
  13. 13. n [Usage] The common practice of adding back to refer is tautologous, since this meaning is already contained in the re- of refer: this refers to (not back to) what has already been said. However, when refer is used in the sense of passing a document or question for further consideration to the person from whom it was received, it may be appropriate to say he referred the matter back
