depute
This term carries a formal, administrative tone, typically appearing in legal, governmental, or corporate hierarchies. It suggests a structured transfer of power or a formal appointment, distinguishing it from the more casual "ask" or "assign." The focus is on the official capacity of the person being appointed to act as a proxy.
In professional settings, it emphasizes the legitimacy of the representative's actions. When a person is deputed, they are not merely helping; they are legally or organizationally empowered to make decisions and sign documents as if they were the original authority figure.
