cross-check
Confirm through comparison
Cross-check means to verify something by using a different source or method.
You cross-check figures by comparing two sets of records, or cross-check a story by asking another witness: I cross-checked the invoice against the shipping manifest.
In hockey, a cross-check is an illegal move where a player shoves an opponent with the stick held horizontally in both hands.
