Definition
托付 (tuō fù) means to entrust a task, person, or responsibility to someone, emphasizing the act of handing over something important. It is more general than 委托 (wěi tuō, formal commission) and 嘱托 (zhǔ tuō, verbal instructions), and less about requesting a favor like 拜托 (bài tuō) or placing hope like 寄托 (jì tuō).
