promise承诺，答应，保证

intend打算，计划，想要（做某事）

这组词都有“保证”的意思，其区别是：

insure常与ensure换用，但前者多指经济方面的保证、保险。

promise侧重表自己的主观意向，设法用语言使人感到稳当可靠。

pledge正式用词，指通过郑重许诺、协议或立誓等保证承担某一义务或遵守某一原则。

guarantee指对事物的品质或人的行为及履行义务、义务等承担责任的保证。

assure侧重指消除某人思想上的怀疑或担心，从而有达到目的的保证感，但不如ensure普通。

ensure侧重使人相信某个行为或力量产生的结果。

权威例句

promise

promise: [14] Latin prōmittere originally meant simply ‘send forth’ (it was a compound verb formed from the prefix prō- ‘forward’ and mittere ‘send’, source of English mission, missile, transmit, etc). But it soon evolved metaphorically via ‘say in advance, foretell’ to ‘cause to expect’ and hence ‘promise’ – the sense adopted into English via its past participle prōmissum.=> admit, commit, missile, mission, submit, transmit

promise (n.)

c. 1400, "a pledge, vow," from Old French promesse "promise, guarantee, assurance" (13c.) and directly from Latin promissum "a promise," noun use of neuter past participle of promittere "send forth; let go; foretell; assure beforehand, promise," from pro- "before" (see pro-) + mittere "to put, send" (see mission). The ground sense is "declaration made about the future, about some act to be done or not done."

promise (v.)

c. 1400, from promise (n.). Related: Promised; promising. Promised land (1530s) is a reference to the land of Canaan promised to Abraham and his progeny (Hebrew xi:9, etc.; Greek ten ges tes epangelias).
