单词 | to endorse off |
释义 | > as lemmasto endorse (a sum of money) off 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.
