Tips from 1870	Usage: Indorse, Endorse. From the Latin dorsum, the back, these words have come to mean the writing of one's name across the back of a check or draft or other commercial paper to signify its transfer to another or to secure its payment. To indorse a man's arguments or opinions is an incorrect use of the word. While both forms of spelling the word are in good usage, indorse seems to be coming into more general favor.
