Etymology
The word "indorse" originated from the Middle English term "endorse," which derived from the Latin word "indorsare." The Latin term combines "in-" meaning "in" with "dorsum," meaning "back." Historically, indorsing was used in the context of writing on the back of a document, especially in legal contexts such as checks and bills of exchange to indicate approval or transfer of rights. By the 16th century, the term began to broaden its scope to include verbal and written forms of support or approval. Over time, the meaning has evolved but remains deeply rooted in the idea of endorsing someone or something as reliable or credible, particularly in business, politics, and social movements.
