Root Explanation

Indorse → It is formed from "in-" (meaning in or on) and "dorsum" (from Latin, meaning back). The word originally referred to writing on the back of a document, thus meaning to endorse or approve something.

Memory Tip

Think of writing 'on the back' ('in-' means in/on, and 'dorsum' means back) to remember that 'indorse' means to endorse or approve something.
