What does ENSURE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To make certain that something will happen, or to guarantee an outcome.
Ensure is used whenever a person or a system takes deliberate steps to make an outcome certain, such as checking a lock to ensure a door is secure, or writing a rule to ensure fair treatment. The word sits close to two near neighbours, insure and assure: insure now mainly covers financial protection against loss, while assure means to tell someone confidently that something is true. Ensure keeps the broader, general sense of guaranteeing a result, which is why it appears constantly in instructions, contracts, and everyday advice.
How ENSURE is used
A very common word in instructions, policies, and everyday speech, wherever a speaker wants to guarantee a result.
- Please ensure that the door is locked before you leave.
- The new rule is meant to ensure fair treatment for every applicant.
- Double-check the settings to ensure the file saves correctly.
- Nothing can fully ensure success, but preparation helps.
- The manager promised to ensure that everyone received the memo.
