signify (v.)

late 13c., \"be a sign of, indicate, mean,\" from Old French signifier (12c.), from Latin significare \"to make signs, show by signs, point out, express; mean, signify; foreshadow, portend,\" from significus (adj.), from signum \"sign\" (see sign (n.)) + root of facere \"to make\" (see factitious). Intransitive sense of \"to be of importance\" is attested from 1660s. Meaning \"engage in mock-hostile banter\" is American English black slang first recorded 1932.

...\'signifying,\' which in Harlemese means making a series of oblique remarks apparently addressed to no one in particular, but unmistakable in intention in such a close-knit circle. [\"Down Beat,\" March 7, 1968]
