DELEGATE Copy link
• DELEGATE
1.
  • Send with power to transact business, legare; allegare (to delegate or depute): legatum mittere (to delegate or send as an ambassador, especially in affairs of state): mandata alicui dare (to give him a commission). ☞ It would be wrong to employ amandare and ablegare in this sense (as is frequently done in modern Latin); those words mean “to send anybody away under a pretext, in order to get rid of him “: to delegate anybody to do anything, alicui mandare, ut, etc.; negotium alicui dare, ut, etc.: to be delegated to do anything, jussus sum facere aliquid: to delegate with full power, alicui alicujus rei faciendae licentiam dare or permittere (☞ Cic., Verr., 3, 94, 220; Sall., Jug., 103, 2): liberum alicujus rei arbitrium alicui permittere (Liv. 32, 37): to be delegated by anybody, mandata habere ab aliquo; alicujus nomine, or aliquo auctore facere aliquid (to do anything in consequence of being delegated by anybody).
  • To deliver or entrust anything to the care of another on whom one confers authority to manage it, etc., mandare alicui aliquid (commission him to do it; e.g., negotium): demandare alicui aliquid (give it up entirely to another, so as to think no more about it one’s self; e.g., funeris curam; helium): delegare alicui aliquid (to shove off upon another what one should do one’s self; e.g., curam alicujus rei alicui; officium alicui).
2. s. legatus; cui rerum agendarum licentia data or permissa est (delegate with full powers; ☞ Cic., Verr., 3, 94, 220; Sall., Jug., 103, 2): qui mandata habet ab aliquo (commissioned): *publica auctoritate missus; also merely legatus (a delegate with authority from the slate. ☞ Here ablegatus would be false Latin): delegates come from Sicily, Siculi veniunt cum mandatis.
