Syn: {To Commit}, {Intrust}, {Consign}.

Usage: 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 intrusting 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 intrust denotes
the act of committing to the exercise of confidence or
trust; as, to intrust 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.
