sent word
Passed along information
Sent word means communicated a message, typically through an intermediary rather than directly: She sent word that she'd be late.
The phrase implies deliberate notification—someone ensuring information reaches its recipient.
It often appears in contexts where direct communication wasn't possible or appropriate: The general sent word to retreat.
