I haven't, but I guess it makes sense for peace of mind.

Root Explanation

Assurer is derived from the Old French word 'asseurer', which means to assure or make safe. The word is formed from 'a-' (a variant of 'ad-', meaning to) and 'securus' (from Latin, meaning safe or secure). Thus, 'assurer' means to make something safe or to assure someone of something.

Memory Tip

Think of 'making something safe' — 'a-' means to, and 'securus' means safe. This helps you remember that 'assurer' means to assure or make something secure.
