Definition
To comfort someone and make them feel less worried or afraid, often by giving them new confidence or information.
Etymology
From Old French *rasseurer*, from Latin *re-* (again) + *assēcurāre* (to make sure, to secure). Over time it shifted from literally making something safe to calming someone's feelings.
Kelly Says
When you reassure someone, you’re literally ‘making them sure again.’ It’s not about giving fake hope, but restoring the sense of safety their brain has temporarily lost.
