Made reference (to) (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alluded

(Other definitions for alluded that I've seen before include "Referred" , "Made indirect reference to" , "Hinted (at)" , "Pereferred briefly or indirectly to in speaking" , "Mentioned in passing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
