entrustment

/ɛnˈtɹəstmənt/ noun

the act of entrusting

Word Origin 'Entrust' combines the prefix 'en-' (in, into) with 'trust', from Proto-Germanic 'traustą' meaning confidence, help, protection. The PIE root '*deru-' means 'firm, solid' — like a tree, which also gives us 'tree' and 'true'. So to entrust is to put into trust. 'Entrustment' adds the Latin suffix '-ment' to form a noun meaning the act or result of entrusting. Related: 'trustee' (one entrusted), 'trustworthy', 'distrust'.
