verb crowdsources · crowdsourcing · crowdsourced

To delegate a task to a large, diffuse group. And I sometimes “crowdsource,” asking for help in research from the Lexicographic Irregulars (like when I asked for sign-language suggestions for “thanks” and learned how the little Dutch boy felt when he pulled his finger out of the dike).
