覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
核は trust です。「信頼できる相手だから任せる」と押さえると残りやすい表現です。give や leave より、相手への信頼が前面に出るのが entrust。形は entrust A with B で「AにBを託す」、with の後ろが預ける物。entrust someone with a task, money, children, a secret のように、大事な仕事・お金・子ども・秘密を任せる場面でよく使います。assign が単なる割り当てなら、entrust は責任ごと信じて預ける感じです。
The key part is `trust`. In `entrust A with B`, you trust A enough to give them B, so `with` introduces the thing you place in their care. It sounds stronger than just `give` or `leave` because it includes responsibility and confidence.

entrust a with b の語源・成り立ち Etymology
entrustはen-（中に）+trust（信頼、古ノルド語traust由来）で「信頼の中に置く」が原義。14世紀頃から「大切なものを信じて預ける」意味に。関連語：trust, trustee。a with bの形で「AにBを委ねる」と目的語を二重に取る構文が特徴。
Entrust is built from en- and trust, and its original sense was "to place in trust." Trust comes from Old Norse traust, meaning confidence or reliance. By the late Middle Ages, entrust had developed the meaning of giving something valuable to someone because you believe they will take care of it.
