Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'media', derived from the Latin plural of 'medium' (meaning middle or an intervening agency of communication), dating back to the 19th century, with 'endorsement', stemming from the Old French 'endorsement', from medieval Latin 'indorsamentum' ('in-' meaning in + 'dorsum' meaning back). Historically used in finance for signing the back of a negotiable instrument, its modern political and social application evolved in the 20th century to signify public support given by news organizations to candidates, policies, or products.
