Etymology
The word 'endued' comes from the Old French term 'endower,' which means to endow or enrich. It has its roots in the Latin word 'indūros,' meaning 'to harden' or 'to injure intensely,' which evolved into the sense of provision over time. The term has been used in legal, religious, and literary contexts, often associated with the bestowal of rights, qualities, or advantages. In contemporary usage, the word is less common but is still found in formal writing and discussions pertaining to gifting or empowering individuals with specific attributes.
