Surface Forms

assured positive

Morphology

assured = assure (transparent) = assure + ed

Formed as the past-participle/adjectival '-ed' of the verb 'assure', so the adjective meaning ('having confidence' or 'made certain') follows directly.

Etymology

Assured comes from an old root that meant 'safe' or 'secure', the same idea you see in sure. So when someone speaks in an assured voice, they sound made 'certain' and calm.
