reassure

verb C1

Meaning

To reassure is to provide comfort or confidence to someone by alleviating their doubts, fears, or anxieties, often through verbal or non-verbal communication, thereby restoring a sense of security or trust in a given situation.
💡 While "reassure" often implies a positive intent to calm fears, it is important to ensure that the reassurance is based on credible information; otherwise, it may lead to further distrust if the reassured individual later discovers the information to be misleading.
