Oxford Thesaurus

ensure

ensure verb 1 ensure that the surface to be painted is completely clean | we will ensure equal opportunities for all: make sure, make certain, see to it; secure, guarantee, warrant, certify, set the seal on, clinch; confirm, check, verify, corroborate, establish; informal sew up. 2 the project has been set up to ensure the future of small woodlands: safeguard, protect, guard, shield, shelter, fortify, make invulnerable; assure, secure, make safe, watch over, look after, take care of. EASILY CONFUSED WORDS ensure or insure? In both British and American English the primary meaning of insure is the commercial one of providing financial compensation for loss or damage. Ensure is not used at all in this sense; it means ‘take care, and take action if necessary, to make certain that something is the case ’ (the client must ensure that accurate records are kept ).These notes clear up confusion between similar-looking pairs.
