Etymology
'purposefully-endorsed' originates from the combination of 'purposefully' and 'endorsed'. 'Purposefully' comes from 'purpose', which originates from Latin 'propositum', meaning 'intention'. 'Endorsed' comes from Old French 'endosser', meaning 'to put on the back'.
'Purposefully' evolved from Middle English 'purpos', while 'endorsed' evolved from Old French 'endosser'.
Initially, 'purposefully' meant 'with a purpose', and 'endorsed' meant 'to sign on the back'. Over time, they combined to mean 'intentionally supported'.
