noun
revolving guarantee; basic guarantee
A legal/financial term for a guarantee that covers a continuing or fluctuating obligation, such as a line of credit, rather than a single fixed debt. Often contrasted with a standard guarantee (普通保証).
銀行は融資に際して、根保証契約を求めることがある。
Banks sometimes require a revolving guarantee agreement when extending credit.
根保証は、継続的な取引から生じる債務を担保するために用いられる。
A revolving guarantee is used to secure obligations arising from ongoing transactions.
Compound of 根 (root, basis) and 保証 (guarantee), reflecting the idea of a fundamental or ongoing guarantee. The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the term is used in modern legal and financial contexts.
