promised
Swore to do
Promised is the past tense of promise, indicating a commitment was made: She promised to call when she arrived.
It also functions as an adjective describing something pledged or assured: the promised land, the promised reward.
What's promised carries expectation—a promised visit that never happens feels like betrayal.
