(The act of signing might entail cultural and legal implications that cannot be precisely conveyed in a single English word.)
To affix one's firma (signature) to a document, letter, or other official paper, indicating approval, agreement, or responsibility. This can refer to the physical act of writing one's name, but often also carries the implication of formally sanctioning or legally committing to something, encompassing the broader 'signature act' or official endorsement.
