这组词都有“保证”的意思,其区别是:
insure常与ensure换用,但前者多指经济方面的保证、保险。
promise侧重表自己的主观意向,设法用语言使人感到稳当可靠。
pledge正式用词,指通过郑重许诺、协议或立誓等保证承担某一义务或遵守某一原则。
guarantee指对事物的品质或人的行为及履行义务、义务等承担责任的保证。
assure侧重指消除某人思想上的怀疑或担心,从而有达到目的的保证感,但不如ensure普通。
ensure侧重使人相信某个行为或力量产生的结果。

约于1400年, promisse,“庄严的承诺; 誓言; 一个人向另一个人发出的关于未来的声明,向后者保证前者将做或不做指定的行为”,源自于古法语 promesse “承诺,保证,保证”(13世纪),直接源自拉丁语 promissum “承诺”,是 promittere 的过去分词中性名词用法,“放出; 放开; 预言; 事先保证,承诺”,源自 pro “之前”(来自 PIE 词根 *per-(1)“向前”,因此“在前面,在之前”)+ mittere “释放,放开; 发送,扔”(参见 mission)。
“提供希望或期望未来卓越或卓越的基础”的意义可追溯到1530年代。
