Etymology
From Middle English sure, seur, sur, from Middle French sur or Old French seür, from Latin s?c?rus (“secure”, literally “carefree”), from s?- (“apart”) + c?ra (“care”) (compare Old English orsorg (“carefree”), from or- (“without”) + sorg (“care”)). See cure. Doublet of secure and the now obsolete or dialectal sicker (“certain, safe”).
Displaced native Middle English wis, iwis (“certain, sure”) (from Old English ?ewis, ?ewiss (“certain, sure”)), Middle English siker (“sure, secure”) (from Old English sicor (“secure, sure”)) with which was cognate.
