Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    In what context ?

    cite

    –verb (used with object), cit⋅ed, cit⋅ing.   

    1. to quote (a passage, book, author, etc.), esp. As an authority: He cited the Constitution in his defense.

    2. to mention in support, proof, or confirmation; refer to as an example: He cited many instances of abuse of power.

    3. to summon officially or authoritatively to appear in court.

    4. to call to mind; recall: citing my gratitude to him.

    5. Military. to mention (a soldier, unit, etc.) in orders, as for gallantry.

    6. to commend, as for outstanding service, hard work, or devotion to duty.

    7. to summon or call; rouse to action.  

    Origin:  
    1400–50; late ME < LL citāre to summon before a church court; in L, to hurry, set in motion, summon before a court, freq. Of ciēre to move, set in motion


    It means six very different things (1 & 2 are much if a muchness)

    Do you want ...

    • To quote or use blurtit as a reference source ? (I wouldn't as you may find many answers here are opinions stated as facts ;-) )
    • To drag blurtit into court ?
    • To remember blurtit ?
    • To mention blurtit in military dispatches ?
    • To commend blurtit ?
    • Or to summon to action ?
    As you should by now of grasped, you need to be more specific in what you mean by "cite" as it is very ambiguous  ;-)
