cross check
Verify against sources
Cross check means to verify information by comparing it against another source or using a different method.
If you cross check a fact, you confirm its accuracy by consulting multiple references rather than trusting a single one.
I always cross check online prices before making a purchase.
In ice hockey, a cross check is an illegal hit where a player shoves an opponent using the shaft of the stick held horizontally with both hands.
