megbíz

Megbíz is a Hungarian verb meaning to entrust or to commission someone with a task or responsibility. It denotes transferring authority or responsibility to another person, often by issuing an assignment or authorization. The basic form is the infinitive megbízni; common derivatives include megbízás (a commission or assignment), megbízó (the person who gives the assignment), and megbízott (the person entrusted).

Usage is transitive and typically involves a person as the agent and a task or domain as the object. Examples: "A cég megbízta Tamást a projekt vezetésével." (The company entrusted Tamás with project leadership.) "Megbízom a kollégát a feladattal." "Megbíztam Tamást a pénzügyek intézésével." In legal or administrative language it can express delegation of authority or the granting of a mandate, and it is common in phrases such as "megbízólevél" (letter authorizing someone) or "megbízott feladat."

Etymology and semantics: The verb is built from bíz (to trust) with the prefix meg-, giving a sense of completion or allocation. It is closely related to concepts such as meghatalmazás (authorization) and megbízás (commission), which describe different forms of delegation or empowerment.
