Usage Note

Assuré functions as an adjective ('self-assured, steady') and as a noun in insurance contexts where l'assuré is the policy-holder. The adverb assurément means 'certainly, assuredly.' When used of a voice or step — d'un pas assuré — it conveys calm authority rather than arrogance.

Examples

"Il avance d'un pas assuré."
