Giving something or someone to another person's care or responsibility, believing they will handle it properly.
From prefix 'en-' plus 'trust' (from Old Norse 'traust'). Combines the prefix of causation with a Germanic root for confidence.
Entrusting someone is actually a psychological act of faith—research shows that when you entrust someone with responsibility, they're statistically more likely to prove trustworthy, making trust a self-fulfilling prophecy.
