What does SECURE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Safe from danger or loss, firmly fixed in place, or free from worry about what may happen.
Secure can describe a physical thing, such as a ladder that will not slip, or a situation, such as a job that is unlikely to vanish. It also describes a feeling, so a secure child is one who trusts that care will keep coming. As a verb the same word means to fasten something or to obtain it, as in securing a loan. The Latin root se cura meant without care, and that sense of freedom from worry still sits under every modern use.
