Definition sure
Etymology
From Middle English sure, seur, sur, borrowed from Middle French sur or Old French se�r, from Latin s?c?rus (�secure�, literally �carefree�), from s?- (�apart�) + c?ra (�care�) (compare Old English orsorg (�carefree�), from or- (�without�) + sorg (�care�)). See cure. Doublet of secure and the now obsolete or dialectal sicker (�certain, safe�).
Displaced native Middle English wis, iwis (�certain, sure�) (from Old English ?ewis, ?ewiss (�certain, sure�)), Middle English siker (�sure, secure�) (from Old English sicor (�secure, sure�)) with which was cognate.
