as to

What is the meaning of AS TO? I often use it although I don't know what the real meaning is.

I am still confused as to what he wants me to do.

Thank you.

Like Feebs11 explains, it means "about" to me. Instead, most solicitors prefer "as to," which baffles me. Why and how was "as to" invented in the first place?

The phrase has another meaning of "according to". CAn you give an example of the legal use?

By the legal use, in the case, I mean for plain English rather than the legalese such as service, callover, and moving. I wonder why lawyers couldn't use plain English such as "about" instead of "as to."
