Etymology
The word 'indorse' is derived from the Latin word 'indorsare,' which means 'to write on the back of.' In its early usage, it referred to the act of signing or writing on the reverse side of a document, particularly a check or bill, to authorize it. Over time, the meaning evolved to encompass the notion of approval and support, especially in the context of endorsing candidates, products, or ideas. The modern usage of 'indorse' aligns closely with 'endorse,' with both terms being used interchangeably in contemporary English. The shift from a strictly legal definition to a broader sense of endorsement reflects changes in language and societal practices surrounding approval and support.
