Word Origin
Latin, 15th century
Why this word?
“Endue,” sometimes spelled as “indue,” comes from the Latin “inducere,” with “ducere” meaning “to lead.” In Anglo-French it turned into “enduire,” meaning “to introduce, embue,” and that’s the form that came into English. The verb can be used in an outward sense, meaning you endue, or provide, someone with something. It can also have a more internal context, meaning you are endued, or imbued, with something. You can endue your friend with laughter by telling them a joke, and you can be endued with confidence after receiving a compliment.
