Usage

In the context of life insurance, a technical distinction is made between assurance and insurance. Assurance is used of policies under whose terms a payment is guaranteed, either after a fixed term or on the death of the insured person; insurance is the general term, and is used in particular of policies under whose terms a payment would be made only in certain circumstances (e.g. accident or death within a limited period)

Origin

Late Middle English (in sense 2): from Old French, from assurer 'assure'.

Rhymes

durance, endurance, insurance
