recourse


1. A coursing back, or coursing again, along the line of a previous coursing; renewed course; return; retreat; recurence. "Swift recourse of flushing blood." "Unto my first I will have my recourse." (Chaucer) "Preventive physic . . . Preventeth sickness in the healthy, or the recourse thereof in the valetudinary." (Sir T. Browne)

2. Recurrence in difficulty, perplexity, need, or the like; access or application for aid; resort. "Thus died this great peer, in a time of great recourse unto him and dependence upon him." (Sir H. Wotton) "Our last recourse is therefore to our art." (Dryden)

3. Access; admittance. "Give me recourse to him." (Shak) Without recourse, words sometimes added to the indorsement of a negotiable instrument to protect the indorser from liability to the indorsee and subsequent holders. It is a restricted indorsement.

Origin: F. Recours, L. Recursus a running back, return, fr. Recurrere, recursum, to run back. See Recur.
