Origin:
The word "endow" originates from the Latin phrase "dos" (dowry). In Roman law, a dos was property given by a bride's family to her husband as a form of financial security for the marriage. The word "endow" was first used in English in the 14th century to describe the act of providing a dowry. Over time, the meaning of "endow" broadened to include any form of permanent income or resources, as well as natural qualities or abilities.
