Etymology
From Late Middle English endowen, endouen, enduen, indouen, indw (“to provide with assets, a livelihood, or privileges; to bestow, grant; (figuratively) to favour; to endow”), from Anglo-Norman endouer, from Old French en- (prefix meaning ‘in, into’) + douer (“to endow”) (from Latin d?t?re (present active infinitive of d?t? (“to endow”)); modern French douer). D?t? is derived from d?s (“dowry; endowment, gift”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *deh?- (“to give”)) + -? (suffix forming regular first-conjugation verbs).
