The Chinese word 托付 (tuōfù) is a compound formed by combining two semantically related morphemes: 托 (tuō), which means "to entrust" or "to rely on," and 付 (fù), which means "to hand over" or "to deliver." Together, they create a synergistic meaning that is more specific and nuanced than either character alone, conveying the act of entrusting something (often a task, responsibility, or person) to someone else's care with a sense of reliance and commitment. This formation follows a common pattern in Chinese where two verbs with similar or complementary meanings are joined to express a single, more abstract or complete action, resulting in a word that implies a solemn handing-over of trust.
