How it's used
Primarily used in professional or administrative contexts to identify the specific individual responsible for a transaction or file. While it can technically refer to the person responsible for a pregnancy, using it in that context is often considered crude or overly clinical depending on the tone.

Do not confuse this with 負責人, which usually refers to a manager or someone with overall authority. A 經手人 is specifically the person who performed the hands-on processing of a task, not necessarily the person in charge of the department.
