What does ENURE mean in Scrabble?
verb
legal
To take effect, come into operation, or accrue as a benefit, especially in a legal sense; a variant spelling of inure.
Enure appears mainly in legal writing to describe how a right, benefit or agreement comes into force or works to someone's advantage, as when an improvement to shared land is said to enure to the benefit of every owner. The word is essentially a British legal variant of the more familiar inure, and the two are often treated as fully interchangeable in older statutes and contracts. Outside law it can also mean to accustom a person to something difficult, matching the everyday sense of inure, though this use is far less common today. Modern legal drafting increasingly favours inure over enure, leaving the older spelling looking somewhat dated even within its own specialist field.
How ENURE is used
Chiefly a legal term, found in contracts, statutes and property law rather than in everyday conversation.

- Lawyers debated whether the benefit would enure automatically or require a separate claim.
