Makes certain (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

ensures

assures

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">makes certain</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('assure' can be a synonym of 'make certain')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for assures that I've seen before include "Gives confidence or covers with a policy" , "Informs with certainty and confidence" , "guarantees" , "Tells to dispel any doubts" , "States positively and confidently" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the Sydney Morning Herald, the USA Today and The Daily Mail.
