An archaic term meaning a dwelling place, residence, or the act of dwelling; lodging or habitation.
From abode (noun, meaning 'dwelling') + -ment (suffix forming nouns of action, state, or result). This is an obsolete formation that was more common in Middle and Early Modern English.
Reading medieval and Renaissance texts, you'll encounter 'abodement' as a poetic way to describe a dwelling—there's something almost ceremonial about it compared to our simple 'home,' suggesting how we've lost linguistic variety when we lost formality.
