Definition
倚重 is a formal verb meaning 'to rely heavily on someone with trust' or 'to entrust someone with an important responsibility.' It implies a high degree of confidence and dependence, often used in contexts of work, leadership, or relationships. Unlike the more common 依赖 (dependence that can be factual), 倚重 carries a sense of active trust and delegation. It is typically followed by a person as the object (倚重某人).
