endorse
Sign a check
To endorse is to give public approval or support: The union endorsed the Democratic candidate.
Originally, to endorse meant to sign the back of a check or document, transferring rights or confirming receipt—a meaning that persists in banking.
The extended sense of backing or recommending now dominates: She endorsed the new policy, celebrity endorsements.
An endorsed product carries someone's public approval, often for payment.
