The insurance industry's word for 'maybe' dressed up as a promise.

means The scope of what's protected, included, or reported — the boundaries of what counts.

from Built from 'cover' (from Old French 'covrir,' to cover or protect, tracing back to Latin 'cooperire') plus the noun-forming suffix '-age.' The core sense — the extent to which something is covered — stayed stable, but the word drifted into insurance and journalism alike in the 19th and 20th centuries, each time asking the same question: how much ground does this actually protect, or report, before the edges run out?
