Picture things being carried in and set down in one place. That is the movement the word keeps in all its modern uses. When what is carried in are opinions, several people put theirs on the same table and work out what to do: they confer.

可以想成一個畫面：東西被帶到同一個地方放下。這個動作貫穿它現在的用法。帶過來的如果是意見，幾個人把各自的想法放到同一張桌上，一起弄出結論，那就是商量。帶過來的如果是榮譽、學位或權利，那就是被送到某一個人身上，從此歸他所有。不管哪一種，這個字都偏正式，而且一定牽涉到不只一方。From the word’s history
Wiktionary traces the word through French to Latin conferō. The modern senses all sit on that Latin verb's idea of bringing things together.
Wiktionary 記的來源是拉丁文 cōnferō，經過法文進入英文。現在的幾個用法，都還貼在那個拉丁動詞「把東西帶到一起」的想法上。

一樣是帶過來，但方向變成單向：從有權力的一方，落到接受的一方身上。所以接受者用 on 或 upon，而不是 to。
