indemnifying
Covering another's losses
Indemnifying is protecting someone against loss, damage, or legal liability.
Insurance policies indemnify policyholders against specified risks.
Contracts often include clauses where one party agrees to indemnify the other: The contractor is responsible for indemnifying the homeowner against any claims arising from the work.
The word carries a formal, legal tone.
