Word of the Day

delegate

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 14, 2026 is:

delegate • \DEL-uh-gayt\  • verb

To delegate something (such as control, responsibility, authority, or a job or duty) is to trust someone else with it.

// Those tasks can be delegated to someone else.

See the entry >

Examples:

“In practice, principals shuttle back and forth, sometimes multiple times a day, or divide their schedule between mornings and afternoons, or alternate full days at each school. When they’re off-site, they must formally delegate authority, but parents and teachers say it’s not always clear who holds decision-making power.” — Isabel Teotonio, The Toronto Star, 1 Dec. 2025

Did you know?

To delegate is to literally or figuratively send someone else in your place, an idea that is reflected in the word’s origin: it is a descendant of the Latin word lēgāre, meaning “to send as an envoy” (a messenger or representative). The noun delegate, which refers to a person who is chosen or elected to vote or act for others, arrived in English in the 14th century, while the verb didn’t make its entrée till the early 16th century. (Note that the verb rhymes with relegate while the noun rhymes with delicate.) Some distant cousins of the word delegate that also trace back to lēgāre include legacy, colleague, relegate, and legate, “an official representative sent to a foreign country.”
