Confer (upon) (6)
I believe the answer is:
bestow
'confer upon' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for bestow that I've seen before include "Confer (an honour)" , "Confer or award" , "Grant" , "Set bow to give" , "Award, present as a gift" .)
