/ɪnˈdɔːs/

Forms: α. 1500s endorce, 1600s– endorse. β. 1600s indorce, 1500s– indorse.

Etymology: Altered form of Middle English endosse (see endoss v.), assimilated to the equivalent medieval Latin indorsāre < in upon + dorsum back, which was used in law-books in sense 1; compare the Old French gloss ‘indorso, endorseir’ cited by Godefroy Indorse is the form found in legal and statutory use, and in most political economists; it is also that approved in all American dictionaries; in English use, according to Bithell (Counting-house Dictionary, ed. 1893), ‘as to the forms Indorse and Endorse, practice appears to be entirely controlled by the taste of the writer’; but endorse is now almost universal in English commercial use. So with the derivatives except indorsation (which is now almost exclusively in Scotch use).

I. To write on the back of something.

1. transitive. To write on the back of (a document); to inscribe (words) on (the back of) a document.

a. In general sense: e.g. to inscribe (a document) on the back with words indicating the nature of its contents, one's opinion of its value, some extension or limitation of its provisions, etc.

b. Commerce. To sign one's name on the back of (a bill, promissory note, or cheque).

c. to endorse (a sum of money) off: to write on the back of a bill, etc. a receipt for a portion of its amount.A bill, cheque, etc. payable ‘to order’ must be ‘endorsed’ by the payee before it can be paid. If endorsed in blank (i.e. without the addition of words making it payable to a particular person), it becomes payable ‘to bearer’. Such documents may also be ‘endorsed’ by a subsequent holder, who thereby becomes responsible for their being paid (hence the figurative sense 2). Similarly, a bank note is often ‘endorsed’ to show that it has passed through the endorser's hands.
