grain (禾) + woman (女) = bending under a burden, entrusting it away
The image is a woman bending under the weight of grain stalks — drooping, yielding, delegating the burden. From this posture of submission came the extended senses of entrusting, shifting responsibility, and feeling dejected.
他把这件事委托给我来办。
tā bǎ zhè jiàn shì wěi tuō gěi wǒ lái bàn。
He entrusted this matter to me to handle.
你不能把责任委过于别人。
nǐ bù néng bǎ zé rèn wěi guò yú bié rén。
You cannot shift the responsibility onto others.
