DEPUTING Meaning and
Definition
-
Deputing is the action or process of appointing or assigning someone, usually temporarily, to perform certain responsibilities or duties on behalf of another individual or organization. In this context, the person who is being deputed is commonly referred to as a deputy.
The term deputing often implies that the individual being appointed possesses specific skills, knowledge, or authority that qualifies them for the assigned tasks. Deputing can occur in various settings, including governmental, corporate, or organizational structures, as well as in personal or informal situations.
In a governmental context, deputing typically involves assigning a deputy to temporarily assume the responsibilities of a higher-ranking official, such as a minister, governor, or sheriff, in their absence or as a means to lighten their workload. The deputy acts as a representative and exercises decision-making authority on behalf of the absent official.
In corporate or organizational settings, deputing may occur when a manager or supervisor designates a subordinate to perform certain duties in their stead, often due to illness, vacation, or any other temporary absence. This ensures continuity of operations and helps maintain productivity within the workplace.
Deputing can also happen on a personal level, where an individual may temporarily appoint someone else to act as their representative or proxy in specific situations, such as granting power of attorney or trusting someone to handle their affairs during a prolonged absence.
Overall, deputing involves the temporary transfer of responsibilities or duties to another person who is considered capable or authorized to act on behalf of the original individual or entity.

Etymology of DEPUTING
The word "deputing" is derived from the Old French word "deputer" which means "to appoint".
