Have recourse to/information to (why "to" here?)
call on = have recourse to or make an appeal or request for help or information to
Can you please tell me the meaning of "recourse to", "information to"?
Please I don't want the meaning of "call on". I see that in most of the dictionaries usually an explanation ends with "to" which confuses me. I wonder what "information to" means though I know the meaning of information. Similarly I know the meaning of recourse "to search for someone for a help" but I wonder what "have recourse to". The "to" preposition again confuses me here.

Hi I complete the definition for your, like that you will understand it: call on = have recourse to somoone or to make an appeal or request for help or information to someone Recourse is a noun which means: a source of help or course of action that is turned to when in difficulty. If you want to use it as a verb it is always 'to have recourse to sy' so 'to' is the preposition this verb is used with. Information is again a noun and the preposition 'to' doesn't belong to it, it belongs to the two verbs: appeal to, request to sy for help or information I hope it makes sense for you Encián

User_garyCan you please tell me the meaning of "recourse to", "information to"?First of all it's not "information to". It's "appeal to". The final to goes with appeal.
The words in the definition substitute for the words defined ("call on") thus:
