underwritten
Insured against loss
Underwritten is the past participle of underwrite.
In insurance, to underwrite is to assume financial responsibility for risk: The policy was underwritten by Lloyd's of London.
In finance, underwriters guarantee the sale of securities, agreeing to purchase any unsold shares.
More broadly, something underwritten has been financially supported or sponsored: The exhibition was underwritten by a local bank.
The literal sense—to write beneath, as in signing one's name at the bottom of a document—explains the figurative extension to guaranteeing or backing something.
