ENCHARGE — [Verb] To give to somebody as a charge; to entrust with a duty or task. From Middle English enchargen, from Middle French encharger (modern French charger), from Old French enchargier, from en- ("in, on") + chargier ("to load, burden"). Unlike "entrust," which centers on confidential safekeeping, or "commission," which suggests a formal, often paid, mandate, to encharge is to impose a solemn duty as a personal burden. It is the weight of a heavy key pressed into your palm by a departing abbot, the specific gravity of a family secret whispered on a deathbed, or the quiet heaviness in a curator's shoulders as she is given the keys to a silent museum—a transfer not merely of a role, but of its accompanying gravity, where responsibility becomes an heirloom of the soul.
