Explanation

Because the hiragana ends with an sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means consult and the verb vocab version is to consult with or to confer with.

諮る is a very formal word that refers to consulting someone for advice or approval — usually a group, council, or authority. You'll see it in political or business contexts, like 計画を審議会に諮る (to submit a plan to the committee for consideration).
