Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗Of a person or thing: to take on (a different form); to adopt, to assume. · To put on (a piece of clothing, etc.); to wear; also (followed by with), to clothe (someone) with something. · To put (something) on top of a thing; to cover, to overlay. · Followed by with: to invest (someone or something) with a certain power, quality, etc.
From both of the following: * Chiefly sense 1: Late Middle English induen (“to clothe (someone); to assume or take on (an appearance)”), from Latin induere, the present active infinitive of induō (“to put on (clothes, etc.); to assume (a part)”), from indu- (an archaic variant of in- (prefix meaning ‘in; within’)) + *uō (“to put on (clothes, etc.)”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ew- (“to put clothes or shoes on”)). * Chiefly sense 3 and sense 4: Late Middle English endeuen, enduen (“to endow; to induct or put (someone into office, etc.); (falconry) of a hawk: to pass food from the crop or gorge into the stomach”), from Old French enduire, induire (modern French enduire), from Latin indūcere, the present active infinitive of indūcō (“to bring or lead in; (by extension) to draw over, cover; (figurative) to bring into, establish, initiate; etc.”), from in- (see above) + dūcō (“to draw, pull; to guide, lead; etc.”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dewk- (“to draw, pull; to lead”)). Sense 2 is from a combination of the above. Doublet of induce.
