Etymology

Asigura is built on the adjective sigur, meaning sure or certain, which comes from Latin securus. The verb was formed inside Romanian by adding the prefix a- and the infinitive ending -a to this root, likely reinforced by the parallel French verb assurer. The result covers the same ground as English assure, ensure, and insure, which all trace back to the same Latin source through French.
