What does ENDUE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicliterary
To provide or invest a person with a particular quality, power, or gift, especially one regarded as coming from a higher or spiritual source.
Endue appears most often in older religious and literary English, as when a prayer asks that a person be endued with patience, wisdom, or strength before facing some trial. The word is closely related to endow, and the two were once used almost interchangeably, though endow today survives far more often in ordinary modern speech. Older Bible translations use endue repeatedly for the granting of spiritual gifts, and this scriptural association is largely why the word still carries a slightly formal, elevated tone. Outside quotation or deliberate archaism, a modern writer describing an ordinary gift or talent would almost certainly reach for endow or equip instead of endue.
