A historical term referring to the allotment or distribution of land or property to someone, or the piece of land so distributed.
From 'applot' (to allot) plus the suffix '-ment' (indicating an action or result), used in English property and legal language primarily in historical contexts.
In Irish and English legal history, 'applotment' referred to the official division and assignment of communal lands—it's a word frozen in history that shows how property law has changed over centuries.
