Charge some women trustees (7)

I believe the answer is:

entrust

'charge' is the definition.
(as in entrusting or charging someone with a task)

'some women trustees' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ENTRUST' is hidden within 'women trustees'.

(Other definitions for entrust that I've seen before include "Commend" , "Confide" , "Place in the care or protection of someone" , "Assign (a responsibility to someone)" , "Consign" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
