将“endorse”分解为“en”和“dorse”。想象“en”如同加强剂,让人更坚定或肯定。而“dorse”类似于“horse”的后背,可以联想到盖章或签名在文件上的背部(即马的背部),象征着正式确认或支持。因此,“endorse”可以记忆为“加强并确认”,即签署支持或认可。

endorse: [16] To endorse something is literally to write ‘on the back’ of it. The word comes from medieval Latin indorsāre, a compound verb formed from the prefix in- ‘in’ and dorsum ‘back’ (source of English dorsal, doss, and dossier). (An earlier English version of the word was endoss [14], acquired via Old French endosser, which died out in the 17th century.)
=> dorsal, doss, dossier
- endorse (v.)
- c. 1400, endosse "confirm or approve" (a charter, bill, etc.), originally by signing or writing on the back of the document, from Old French endosser (12c.), literally "to put on the back," from en- "put on" (see en- (1)) + dos "back," from Latin dossum, variant of dorsum "back" (see dorsal). Assimilated 16c. in form to Medieval Latin indorsare. Figurative sense of "confirm, approve" is recorded in English first in 1847. Related: Endorsed; endorsing.
