More certain or confident about something than before.

Conversation

Are you feeling surer about your decision to move?

I think so, but it's a big change, you know?

Yeah, I can understand that. It might help to talk it out more to feel even surer.

That's a good idea. I think I just need a bit more time to think.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Surer → It is formed from "sure" (from Old French *sûr*, meaning certain or secure) and the comparative suffix "-er" (meaning more). The word "surer" means more certain or more secure than something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'sure' meaning certain, and when you add '-er', it indicates a greater degree of certainty. So, surer means more certain.
