Its root in the classical dictionaries

الدلالة: ما يتوصل به إلى معرفة الشيء، كدلالة الألفاظ على المعنى، ودلالة الإشارات،

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿ما دلهم على موته﴾ [سبأ: 14] أي عرفهم. وأصل الدلالة: ما يتوصل به إلى معرفة الشيء كدلالة اللفظ على معناه وكدلالة الإشارة والرمز والكتابة والعقود في الحساب. وسواء في ذلك قصد الدلالة من فاعلها أم لا. ومنه ﴿ما دلهم على موته﴾ لأن الأرضة لم تقصد ذلك، ويرى الواحد حركة آخر فيستدل على حياته.
