任

rèn

to assign

to appoint; to take up a post; office; responsibility; to let; to allow; to give free rein to; no matter (how, what etc); classifier for terms served in office, or for spouses, girlfriends etc (as in 前任男友)

person (亻) + phonetic (壬) = a person entrusted with a role

The person radical anchors the idea of a human taking on a role or responsibility. 壬 contributes the sound rèn and does not carry a meaningful semantic story here.
