Word origin
The word 'insure' originated from the Latin word 'securus', meaning 'safe' or 'secure'. It first appeared in English in the 1630s with the specific sense of 'make safe'. Over time, it evolved to encompass the concept of financial protection against risks and uncertainties, becoming a commonly used term in the insurance industry.
