Made safe, protected, or certain; obtained or achieved something desired. Fastened or attached firmly to prevent loss or unauthorized access.
From Latin 'securus,' meaning 'free from care,' composed of 'se-' (without) and 'cura' (care). The evolution from 'carefree' to 'protected' shows how psychological safety became physical security.
Secured originally meant 'without worry' in Latin - the transition from emotional security to physical security shows how language mirrors human psychology. When we secure something today, we're literally making it 'worry-free.'
