Convinced someone again or gave them confidence again that something is okay or will be fine.
From 're-' (again) + 'assure' (from Old French 'asseurer', from 'a-' + 'secure' meaning to make safe). The term evolved from 'make safe' to 'give confidence or peace of mind'.
Studies show that a simple reassuring touch—like holding someone's hand—actually lowers their stress hormones and heart rate measurably, proving that reassurance is literally physical comfort!
