endue verb [ ɪnˈdjuː ]

• endow or provide with a quality or ability.
• "our sight would be endued with a far greater sharpness"
Origin: late Middle English (also in the sense ‘induct into an ecclesiastical living’): from Old French enduire, partly from Latin inducere ‘lead in’ (see induce), reinforced by the sense of Latin induere ‘put on clothes’.
