reassurance
Where it comes from
From re- + assurance.
noun reassurances · re-assurance
- The feeling of being reassured, of having confidence restored, of having apprehensions dispelled. In 2016, President Barack Obama told his staff that Donald Trump’s election victory was “not the apocalypse”. By any definition, he was correct. But understood in the original sense of the Greek word apokálypsis, meaning “unveiling”, Obama could not give the same reassurance in 2025.
- The act of confirming someone's opinion or impression. "The PM’s private reassurances are worthless given her track record of u-turns and her clear desperation to cling to power."
- Reinsurance.
