Definition
Be confident or certain about something; have no doubt or worry about a particular matter.
Etymology
This phrase dates back to the 16th century, combining 'rest' in the sense of being at peace or free from anxiety, with 'assured' meaning confident or certain. The construction follows the pattern of similar phrases like 'rest easy' or 'rest content.'
Kelly Says
The phrase carries an almost old-fashioned formality that makes it popular in customer service and professional contexts. It's interesting that we use 'rest' - typically associated with physical relaxation - to describe mental peace, showing how English connects physical and emotional states.
