Root Explanation

Indorsor is formed from "in-" (meaning in or on) and "dorsor" (from Latin "dorsum", meaning back). The term refers to a person who endorses or signs a document on the back, thus indicating support or approval.

Memory Tip

Think of someone putting their name 'on the back' ('dorsum') of a document to show they support it — that's what an indorsor does.
