Usage notes
To , entrust, consign. These words have in common the idea of transferring from one's self to the care and custody of another. Commit'' is the widest term, and may express only the general idea of delivering into the charge of another; as, to commit a lawsuit to the care of an attorney; or it may have the special sense of entrusting with or without limitations, as to a superior power, or to a careful servant, or of consigning, as to writing or paper, to the flames, or to prison. To ''entrust'' denotes the act of committing to the exercise of confidence or trust; as, to entrust a friend with the care of a child, or with a secret. To ''consign is a more formal act, and regards the thing transferred as placed chiefly or wholly out of one's immediate control; as, to consign a pupil to the charge of his instructor; to consign goods to an agent for sale; to consign a work to the press.Derived terms
