Pronunciation: [ɪndjˈuːd] (IPA) 
Indued is a verb that means to provide someone with a quality, ability or property. The spelling of the word can be broken down into IPA phonetic transcription as /ɪnˈdjuːd/. The word is pronounced with a short "i" sound /ɪn/ and a stressed "doo" sound /djuːd/, followed by an "ed" sound /əd/. The spelling of the word reflects its past tense form, with the -ed suffix indicating the action has already happened in the past.
The word "indued" is not commonly used in modern English and is considered archaic. It is derived from the Middle English term "enduen", which was borrowed from the Old French word "enduire". Ultimately, "enduire" comes from the Latin word "indūcere", which means "to lead in" or "to put on". The prefix "in-" in Latin signifies "into", and "dūcere" means "to lead" or "to bring". Over time, the spelling of "enduen" evolved and became "indued". The term generally refers to the act of providing or bestowing someone with a quality, attribute, or clothing.
