Etymology

From secure + -ity, from Middle English securite, from Middle French securité (modern sécurité), from Latin sēcūritās, from Latin sēcūrus (“safe, secure”), from sē- (“without”) + cūra (“care”); see cure. Similar to Latin sine cūrā (“without care, carefree”), which led to English sinecure. Doublet of surety.

Webster’s 1913

  1. noun The condition or quality of being secure; secureness.
  2. noun That which secures or makes safe; protection; guard; defense.

Etymology [L. securitas: cf. F. sécurité. See Secure, and cf. Surety.]
