Insurance is a social device in which a group of individuals transfer risk to another party in
order to combine loss experience, which permits statistical prediction of losses and provides

The term risk is used in insurance business to also mean either a peril to be insured against

(e.g. young drivers are often not considered good risk for motor insurance companies).
