Origin:
The word "assured" originates from the Latin verb "assecurāre," which means "to make secure" or "to guarantee." The prefix "ad-" indicates the direction "to," while "securus" means "without care" or "secure."
Originally, the term "assured" was used in a legal context to refer to the process of providing security or a guarantee against a financial loss. Over time, the meaning broadened to include any kind of firm belief or confidence.
The phrase "assured of success" is often used to imply a high level of confidence or certainty in a positive outcome. However, it can also be used ironically or sarcastically to suggest that the person is not likely to succeed despite their confidence.
