FIL: Tiyakin o kumpirmahin na ang isang bagay ay mangyayari o nasa tamang kalagayan.
EN: to ensure; to make sure
This is the official word for "double check" sa Pinas. Yung paulit-ulit mong tinitingnan kung na-lock mo ba yung pinto o kung na-off mo yung plantsa. Sa work, ito yung "pa-confirm naman po" bago ka gumalaw. It's the anxiety-driven verb to prevent future "sana pala..." moments.
From Spanish 'seguro' (sure, certain).
ROOT MEANING: maybe; perhaps; probably
Interestingly, the root 'siguro' by itself means 'maybe' or 'perhaps'. However, when inflected as 'masiguro', 'siguraduhin', or 'sigurado', it takes the meaning of 'sure' or 'certain'.
