Rfv-sense: To receive an endorsement.

Is this an obsolete sense? Is it valid at all? DCDuring TALK 15:19, 27 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

I don't think it's valid at all. Perhaps someone was thinking of "to be endorsed". (The heraldic sense is missing (and noun), but it is probably rare and dated. Any experts in Heraldry?) Dbfirs 08:37, 28 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
User:EncycloPetey IIRC. I've left a note on his talkpage with a link hither.​—msh210 (talk) 02:56, 11 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
I've now added the heraldic sense to (deprecated template usage) endorse (strictly a noun) and the adjective sense of (deprecated template usage) endorsed. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:03, 11 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Missing sense: load onto the back?[edit]

Chambers 1908 has this transitive verb sense: "to lay on the back, to load". (Note it's lay, i.e. put something onto the back, not lie down.) So I suppose this could mean loading up an animal with goods to transport. Anyone know more? Equinox 22:40, 14 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
