![]() ![]() ![]() Ensure dates back to the late-fourteenth century and comes from the word enseurer ( en meaning make and seur meaning sure), which in turn is probably influenced by the Old French asseurer meaning assure. The spelling ensure should never be used when talking about arranging compensation in case of loss or damage.īoth ensure and insure derive from the same Anglo-French root (which is why, in some cases, the spellings are still used interchangeably). While insure is sometimes also used as a verb meaning to make certain (usually in American English), we believe it’s useful to have different spellings for each word to emphasise the difference in their meanings.
