Etymology

The term 'guarantee' originates from the Old French word 'garantir', which means to protect or to assure. This, in turn, is derived from the mediæval Latin 'garantia'. The word was commonly used in contexts relating to financial transactions and legal agreements during the 15th century. Over time, it evolved to capture the broader sense of assurance and commitment in various domains, including business and everyday usage. By the late 16th century, the term was well-established in English, often associated with promises of safety and reliability. Its usage reflects the growing importance of trust and security in transactions, particularly in an increasingly complex economic landscape.
