きっと

きっと · kitto · JLPT N4 · adverb

surely

🧰 Sounds like kit-to: with the full kit to hand, it will surely get done

Kitto sounds like kit + to. A complete kit means nothing is missing, so the result is certain. The small っ makes a clipped pause, kit-to, as firm as the confidence it expresses: surely, definitely.
