Conferred

/kənˈfɜːrd/ verb

Discussed something with someone to exchange ideas or get advice before making a decision.

From Latin 'conferre' meaning 'to bring together' or 'compare.' The prefix 'con-' means 'with' and 'ferre' means 'to carry' or 'bring,' so the word originally meant to bring things together for comparison, which evolved into the sense of talking things through.
