What does ENDOW mean in Scrabble?
verb
To provide someone or something with a permanent income, property, or valued quality.
In its financial sense, to endow a hospital, a chair at a university, or a charity means to give it money or property that generates lasting income, rather than a single one-off gift. The word extends naturally to abilities and qualities, as when nature is said to endow a person with talent, patience, or beauty. Both senses share the idea of a gift so substantial that it shapes what the recipient becomes or is able to do.
