Definition
An allowance is a set amount of money given regularly to someone, often a child, to spend or save. It can also mean an amount of something that is permitted or reserved.
Etymology
From Old French *alouance* “approval, permission, allocation,” from *alouer* “to allow, approve.” It kept the sense of an officially approved portion.
Kelly Says
A child’s allowance is really a tiny personal budget with training wheels—practice in managing limited resources. The word still hints that what you get is what someone has decided to ‘approve’ for you to use.
