From the word’s history
From French député, from Late Latin dēputātus 'appointed'.
源自法文 député，來自晚期拉丁文 dēputātus「被指派的」。
Picture the person standing one step below the one in charge, ready to step into the empty chair the moment it is empty. A deputy is that second-in-line — someone whose authority is borrowed from the person above them. Different countries have handed that borrowed authority to different jobs, which is why the same word names a sheriff's officer and a member of parliament.
