endue, indue, v.|ɛn-, ɪnˈdjuː| Forms: α. 5–7 endew, 5– endue; β. 5–7, indew, (6 yndue), 5– indue. [ad. OF. enduire (also in semi-learned form induire), corresp. to Pr. endurre, Cat. induir, It. indurre (cf. the ‘learned’ forms Sp. inducir, Pg. induzir, It. inducere):—L. indūcĕre (see induce), f. in into, on + dūcĕre to lead, draw. The etymological senses ‘lead into’, ‘draw into’, ‘lead on’, ‘draw on’, account for the Eng. senses 1–6, which approximately follow the senses of OF. enduire, induire. In senses 5–6, however, the word was associated with the nearly synonymous L. induĕre to put on (a garment), which it often renders in early translations from Latin. (Perhaps it would not be incorrect to say that the L. induĕre was adapted in a form coinciding with that of the verb ad. OF. enduire.) Senses 7–9 are of mixed origin: they are partly derived from the fig. use of sense 6 ‘to clothe’ (cf. invest); but the forms endew, indew in 15th c. (sense 8) are etymologically equivalent to endow (cf. OF. deu 1 pers. pres. indic. of doër to endow). Hence in 16th and 17th c. the verb endue had all the senses of endow in addition to those which it derived from OF. enduire and L. induĕre. In sense 9 the meanings proceeding from the three sources have so completely coalesced that it is often impossible to say which of them is the most prominent in a particular use of the word. The form endue is now the more common in all the living senses, though some writers employ it and indue indiscriminately, while others appropriate the latter to those uses (esp. senses 5, 6) which suggest an etymological connexion with L. induere. The obs. sense 2, when referred to by mod. writers, has commonly the spelling endew.] I. To bring in, introduce. †1.
