INDORSE Meaning and Definition

  1. Indorse (also spelled "endorse") is a verb that refers to the act of signing, by a person or legal entity, on the back of a document or any form of written instrument. This signature typically indicates approval, authorization, or guarantee for the contents or validity of the document. Indorsement is commonly used in the context of checks, promissory notes, or other negotiable instruments, where the signature of the payee or holder signifies the transfer of ownership rights to another party.

    In addition to the signature, indorsement often includes additional information, such as the date, place, or a specific purpose or condition attached to it. This information serves to provide further details or limitations regarding the indorsement's intent. For example, a special indorsement might specify the person to whom the instrument is to be paid, while a restrictive indorsement may place limitations on how the instrument can be used or cashed.

    Indorsement serves important functions in legal and financial transactions. It establishes the authenticity and credibility of the document, ensuring that all parties involved are aware of their rights and responsibilities. It also facilitates the transfer or negotiation of negotiable instruments, allowing for the smooth flow of funds or obligations between individuals or organizations. Indorsements can be essential in providing evidence or tracing the ownership and history of a document, particularly in cases where disputes or legal actions arise.

  2. To write on the back of any written paper; to transfer or assign by writing one's name on the back of a note or bill of exchange; to approve.

Etymology of INDORSE

The word "indorse" originated from Latin roots. It can be traced back to the Latin word "indorsare", which was formed by combining the prefix "in", meaning "on" or "upon", and "dorsum", referring to the back or the backside. In Latin, "indorsare" meant "to write on the back". Over time, the spelling of the word evolved and "indorse" became the preferred spelling in English. The term "indorse" is commonly used to describe the act of signing one's name on the back of a document, such as a check or a contract, to endorse or support it.
