Etymology
The word 'endorse' comes from the Latin word 'indorsare', which means 'to write on the back of'. This Latin term is derived from 'in-', meaning 'on, in', and 'dorsum', meaning 'back'. The usage of 'endorse' in English started in the late 14th century. Initially, it was used in the context of writing on the back of a document to guarantee or authorize it. Over the centuries, the meaning expanded to include the act of giving support or approval, especially in connection with endorsements in business and politics. By the late 19th century, the term had become commonly associated with endorsements in various forms, including advertisements and political campaigns, solidifying its place in the English language.
