underwrite
Back with funds
To underwrite is to guarantee financial responsibility for something, especially by signing a document.
Insurance companies underwrite policies, accepting risk in exchange for premiums.
Banks underwrite loans, agreeing to buy unsold shares if a stock offering fails.
The word extends to general support: The foundation underwrites local arts programs.
An underwriter is someone who performs this function.
