Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English surete, attested since the early 1300s in the sense "guarantee, promise, pledge, assurance", from seurté/Old French seurté with the same meaning (whence modern sûreté), from Latin sēcūritās. Equivalent to sure + -ty. The senses "security, safety, stability" and "certainty" are attested since the late 1300s.
