to stop being involved in or responsible for something
何かから手を引く、または責任を放棄する (nanika kara te o hiku, mata wa sekinin o hōki suru)
"After the scandal, the manager washed his hands of the project."
"スキャンダルの後、マネージャーはプロジェクトから手を引きました。" (sukyandaru no ato, manējā wa purojekuto kara te o hikimashita)
to wait patiently for the right moment
to be someone who keeps their promises
to admit or confess to something you did wrong
before the expected or planned time
to be so surprised that you doubt what you are seeing
to be accountable for something you did or are in charge of.
