Trusting someone else to do it wrong in a slightly different way than you would
means The act of handing off a task or authority to someone else, or the group of people sent to act or speak on behalf of others.
from From Latin delegare — de- ('away') plus legare ('to send on a commission, depute'), the same legare that gives us 'legate' and 'legacy.' A delegatus was someone officially dispatched to carry out business for another; the word carried that same flavor of entrusted authority into English by the 15th century, eventually splitting into two senses — the act of delegating, and the delegated group itself.
