EN: to have something insured; to ensure
This has two main vibes. First, the adulting one: "Kailangan mo nang **ipaseguro** 'yang kotse mo." (Get your car insured). Second, the "praning friend" vibe: "Okay, aalis na ako. **Ipaseguro** mo lang na naka-lock ang pinto, ha?" (Just make sure the door is locked, okay?). It's about getting protection, either from an insurance company or from your own forgetfulness.
From 'i-' (causative prefix) + 'pa-' (causative prefix) + 'seguro' (sure, insurance), from Spanish 'seguro'.
Can mean 'to insure' (formal financial context) or 'to make sure/ensure' (more common in everyday speech).
