Definition
托管 is a noun that covers several distinct domains: legal/financial 'trusteeship' (财产托管), computing/IT 'hosting' (网站托管, 云托管), and childcare/eldercare 'attended care' (儿童托管, 托管班). The English equivalent depends heavily on context — there is no single English word that covers all three. In financial contexts it refers to assets placed under professional management; in IT it means outsourcing server or service management; in everyday life it describes leaving children or elderly in a supervised setting.
