ALLOT
What allot means
To distribute or assign a particular share, amount, or portion of something to a person or purpose.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *aloter*, meaning "to divide into lots," formed from the prefix *a-* (to) and *lot* (a portion or share). The Old French *lot* came from Old Norse *hlutr*, related to the verb "to cast lots." The word entered Middle English as *aloten* and evolved into its modern form, retaining the sense of distributing or assigning shares.
