Show respect for information and turn left, sadly getting caught (9)

I believe the answer is:

genuflect

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'show respect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'information and turn left sadly getting caught' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'information' could be 'gen' (gen can informally mean information) and 'gen' is found in the answer.
'turn' could be 'u' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn) and 'u' is found in the answer.
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is found in the answer.
'caught' could be 'ct' and 'ct' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'fe' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for genuflect that I've seen before include "Bend the knee in obeisance" , "Go down on one knee in homage" , "Show respect on bended knee" , "Show deference" , "Curtsy" .)
