Asks for advice or information from someone knowledgeable; seeks someone's opinion.
From Latin 'consultare,' frequentative of 'consulere' (to discuss together), from 'com-' (together) and 'salire' (to jump or leap), literally 'to leap together in discussion.'
The Latin root suggests people literally gathered and 'leaped together' in animated discussion—consulting was physical and social in ancient Rome, now it's mostly emails and Zoom calls!
