Definition
The act of giving something or someone to another person's care or responsibility; something that has been entrusted to someone.
Etymology
From entrust (en- + trust) + -ment (suffix creating nouns from verbs), meaning the result or process of entrusting. The word emerged in English around the 16th century as trust-based commerce and relationships required naming this important action.
Kelly Says
Entrustment is the foundation of all relationships—from friendships to banks to governments—and it's fascinating that we needed a special word because the psychology of *transferring* responsibility is completely different from just having it!
