refererer

Refererer is the present tense form of the verb referere in Danish and Norwegian Bokmål, and is also common in other Scandinavian varieties. It means to refer, to mention, or to cite something, and can also indicate pointing to a source or to another part of a text.

Etymology: The verb is borrowed from Latin referre, via French and other European languages. In Danish and Norwegian, referere is the infinitive, and the present tense ends with -erer, yielding refererer in the first- or third-person singular forms. The word is used primarily as a verb, with related nouns such as referanse (reference) and referat (summary or minutes).

Usage in Danish: Refererer is used to indicate citing or directing attention to another source or part of a document. Examples include: "Jeg refererer til afsnit 5 i rapporten." (I refer to section 5 in the report.) "Artiklen refererer til data fra 2020." (The article refers to data from 2020.)

Usage in Norwegian Bokmål: The form is used similarly to Danish. Examples: "Jeg refererer til kapittel 3 i dokumentet." (I refer to chapter 3 in the document.) "Artikkelen refererer til nyere forskning." (The article refers to more recent research.)

Notes: In Danish and Norwegian, refererer is a straightforward verb form; it is distinct from the noun referanse (reference) and referat (minutes or summary). In English-language computing contexts, a related term appears as Referer (the HTTP header name), but this is an English-specific usage and not a native term in Danish or Norwegian.
