Question

A mummy again endued with animation could not be so hideous as that wretch.

Answer 1

Answer:

20th Century: to provide with something freely

Explanation:

The verb endue means to provide or endow with a quality or ability. As a consequence, the sentence means that the mummy was gifted, granted, furnished or empowered with the quality of animation. In that respect, the speaker is comparing a mummy with an unfortunate or unhappy person, who is uglier and more disgusting than a living mummy.
