Etymology

The word 'insured' comes from the verb 'insure', which itself derives from the Middle French term 'ensurer', meaning 'to make sure'. The root of 'insure' relates to the concept of assurance or security, and it dates back to the 14th century. In early finance, insurance acted as a promise of indemnity or compensation for loss. The evolution of insurance as a formal industry began in the late 17th century, with policies emerging in England to cover maritime risks. The term has since been expanded to cover various forms of insurance, including life, health, and property, reflecting societal changes in how risks were evaluated and managed over time.
