Word origin
セキュリティ (sekyuriti) is a Japanese borrowing of English security, ultimately related to Latin securus, meaning "free from care" or "safe".
Usage tips
- English security is often uncountable, but a security can mean a tradable financial asset, a sense that Japanese セキュリティ (sekyuriti) does not normally have.
