Reassurance is something said or done that makes a person feel calmer and less worried or frightened. “You did fine” can be a reassurance. A doctor explaining that a test looks normal is also reassurance. It can be words, a hug, or a clear fact — whatever helps the worried feeling loosen.

Though actually, reassurance is not a promise that everything is perfect. It is extra certainty offered to a mind that is already shaking. People often ask for reassurance when they already know the facts but still do not feel safe inside.

Though actually不過其實 reassurance is not a promise that everything is perfect不是「保證一切都很完美」。 It它 is extra certainty offered to a mind that is already shaking是給已經在動搖的心多一份確定感。 People大家 often ask for reassurance常常尋求reassurance when they already know the facts but still do not feel safe inside明明已經知道事實、心裡卻還是不踏實的時候。

Assurance by itself can mean a confident promise (and in British English it can even mean a kind of insurance). Reassurance is the comfort you give in answer to fear — “it’s going to be all right, really.” The word is common and not very formal.
