Past tense of entrust: to give someone the responsibility of caring for or managing something important.
From 'en-' (to put in) plus 'trust' (from Old Norse 'traust' meaning confidence). The compound emerged in Middle English to mean 'to put one's trust in someone.'
When someone entrusts you with something, they're taking a real risk because you have the power to betray or protect what matters to them—which is why trust violations feel so deeply personal.
