I believe the answer is:

according to

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">as stated by</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Another definition for according to that I've seen is " As stated by".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
