Syn: To Commit, Intrust, Consign.
Usage: These words have in common the idea of transferring
from one's self to the care and custody of another.
Commit is the widest term, and may express only the
general idea of delivering into the charge of another;
as, to commit a lawsuit to the care of an attorney; or
it may have the special sense of intrusting with or
without limitations, as to a superior power, or to a
careful servant, or of consigning, as to writing or
paper, to the flames, or to prison. To intrust denotes
the act of committing to the exercise of confidence or
trust; as, to intrust a friend with the care of a
child, or with a secret. To consign is a more formal
act, and regards the thing transferred as placed
chiefly or wholly out of one's immediate control; as,
to consign a pupil to the charge of his instructor; to
consign goods to an agent for sale; to consign a work
to the press.

[1913 Webster]
Syn: Attempt, Endeavor, Effort, Exertion, Trial.
Usage: These words agree in the idea of calling forth our
powers into action. Trial is the generic term; it
denotes a putting forth of one's powers with a view to
determine what they can accomplish; as, to make trial
of one's strength. An attempt is always directed to
some definite and specific object; as, "The attempt,
and not the deed, confounds us." --Shak. An endeavor
is a continued attempt; as, "His high endeavor and his
glad success." --Cowper. Effort is a specific putting
forth of strength in order to carry out an attempt.
Exertion is the putting forth or active exercise of
any faculty or power. "It admits of all degrees of
effort and even natural action without effort." --C.
J. Smith. See Try.
