What does INDUE mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To provide, endow, or clothe a person with a particular power, quality, or garment.
Indue is an older spelling of endue, and both forms appear in older English writing, especially in translations of scripture where a person is indued with strength, wisdom, or grace from above. In an even older sense now rarely seen, to indue someone also meant literally to dress or clothe them, drawing on the same root as the everyday word endow. Modern English has largely replaced indue with more common words such as endow, imbue, or grant.
