Notes: as a noun, delegate is a person appointed or elected to represent others - as a verb delegate means to transfer power or authority to someone; relegate means to refer to another person for decision or judgment or assign to a lower position or reduce in rank
a delegation differs from a legation in that the members of a delegation are usually not charged with a specific mission but merely with the overall task of representing the interests of a body of people, often at a conference during an assembly's regular session; a legate usually acts alone while a delegate acts as part of a group
