corresponds
Aligns with another
Corresponds is the third-person singular form of correspond, a verb with two main threads of meaning.
The first involves agreement or similarity: if one thing corresponds to another, they match or are equivalent.
The description corresponds to what witnesses reported.
The second involves exchanging letters or messages: people who correspond maintain contact through written communication.
A correspondent is someone who corresponds, whether as a pen pal or as a journalist reporting from a particular location.
