Word Originlate Middle English (originally as ensurance in the sense ‘ensuring, assurance, a guarantee’): from Old French enseurance, from enseurer, alteration of Old French aseurer, earlier form of assurer, based on Latin ad- ‘to’ (expressing change) + securus, from se- ‘without’ + cura ‘care’. Sense (1) dates from the mid 17th cent.
