What does 'rest' mean in 'rest assured' and where else 'rest' can be used in this way? What is the different between it and 'to be assured'? You may rest assured of that. I want to apologize for some mistake in official mail and want to make them sure I will not do that again. "I will take care of this next time" . or "I will take care of this onwards". It seems to me that people use rest assured to put the listener on edge, not to put the listener at ease. You can rest assured, the politicians will see that they themselves have great health. As mentioned in the comments, these constructions are more commonly used: I'm having a rest. I'm taking a rest. I'm resting. You could also say: I'm getting (some) rest. The following would.
