- unclewalter 5y agoThat actually makes sense to me. If I feel secure, I feel carefree. Maybe there should be a different word when providing a secure environment from the word where people enjoy that secure environment.
- Moru 5y agoI wonder if the Swedish security company "Securitas" knew this when changing name. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Securitas https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Securitas
- pyuser583 5y agoI’ve often wondered this. I see them around a lot, and I’m like “someone doesn’t know their Latin.”
