The word entrusted is derived from the verb entrust. The word entrust originated from the Old French word entrest, which in turn came from the Vulgar Latin word intrusitare. The Vulgar Latin term was formed by combining the prefix in- (meaning in or into) with the Latin word trustis (meaning trust or confidence). Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of entrest evolved into entrust, and entrusted was formed by adding the past participle suffix -ed to entrust.
