Assuredness

/əˈʃʊrdnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being assured; confidence, certainty, or freedom from doubt.

Etymology

From assured (past participle of assure) plus -ness suffix. Assured comes from Latin assecurare meaning 'to make secure,' evolving through Old French into Middle English.

Kelly Says

Assuredness is that calm, unshakeable confidence—like when a student studies so hard for a test that they walk in with complete assuredness, versus nervous cramming. Psychologists find that real assuredness comes from preparation, not just from pretending to be confident.
