consigns
Sends off formally
Consigns is the third-person singular form of consign, which means to hand something over to another's care or custody, often for delivery, sale, or disposal.
When you consign goods, you send them to a merchant or agent who will sell them on your behalf: She consigns her vintage clothing to a local boutique.
The verb extends to less tangible transfers: you might consign a memory to oblivion or consign an old idea to the dustbin of history.
Consign often carries a sense of finality or dismissiveness.
