Definitions

  1. Safe, protected, or firmly fixed; also to obtain.

Word origin

Borrowed from Latin sēcūrus (“of persons, free from care, quiet, easy; in a bad sense, careless, reckless; of things, tranquil, also free from danger, safe, secure”), from sē- (“without”) + cūra (“care”); see cure. Doublet of sure and the now obsolete or dialectal sicker (“certain, safe”).

Used in a sentence

  • But thou, secure of soul, unbent with woes.
  • secure of a welcome
  • Confidence then bore thee on, secure / Either to meet no danger, or to find / Matter of glorious trial.
