consign, requesting, entrusting with, pretend

About this kanji

The kanji 「託」 primarily means to entrust or consign something to someone else. It is often used in nouns rather than verbs. For example, the word 委託 (いたく) refers to the act of entrusting something to a person or organization, while 信託 (しんたく) means trust, particularly in a financial context. Another common compound, 受託 (じゅたく), indicates the condition of being entrusted with a task or responsibility. A usage note is that this kanji carries a sense of reliance on others, reflecting a deeper social nuance in Japanese culture.

Example sentences

• 彼に事務を託した。
