Etymology
The Word's Journey: A Brief History of "Endorsement"
The word "endorsement" has its roots in the French word "endosser," which means "to put on the back." This idea of writing or signing on the back of something is where the word's meaning comes from.
Imagine you had a valuable document, like a check or a contract. To transfer ownership or authority, you would often sign your name on the back of it. This act of signing on the back is what we now call "endorsing."
Over time, the meaning of "endorsement" expanded. It now also refers to publicly supporting or approving something, like a product, a person, or an idea.
So, the next time you see a famous person promoting a product, you can think of it as a modern-day endorsement, a public sign of their approval.
