Common Misspellings for VOUCHSAFE
Etymology of VOUCHSAFE
The word vouchsafe has Old French origins. It can be traced back to the combination of two Old French words: vouch and safe. Vouch comes from the Latin word votum, meaning a vow or promise. In Old French, it evolved to mean to guarantee or give assurance. Safe is derived from the Latin word salvus, meaning safe or sound. When combined, vouch and safe in Old French resulted in vouchesafir (also spelled voschesafir or vouchesaffir), which meant to guarantee or grant something as a favor. Over time, this term transformed into the Middle English word vouchsafe.
