Entrust – Put something into someone’s care or protection.
This word never appears in Scripture; God used the word Commend.
This word was coined in 1200 a.d., well after Scripture was complete. The meaning has morphed 4 times since it was coined, with each change expanding the definition.
In the 1300s the definition changed to … “To charge or invest with a trust or responsibility”. Then in the early 1500s the “To charge with a specified office or duty involving trust” was added.
By the mid-1500s, ignorantly using the word to define itself, the definition changed again, to “Confidence placed in a one who holds or enjoys the use of property entrusted to him by its legal owner”.
In the 1600s the spelling was changed to ‘intrust’ and “Condition of being legally entrusted” was added. Again, ignorantly using the word to define itself.
But in 1877 the original spelling was restored, “entrust”, and the latest meaning was removed. In so doing a new word was coined. It retained the latest meaning and the modified spelling of “in-trust” to denote a legal condition; the ‘trust’ portion of the word denoting “A businesses organized to reduce competition”.
