An archaic or rare term referring to the act of applying something or the result of an application.
From 'apply' plus the suffix '-ment' (indicating action or result), following English word-formation patterns, though this word is now obsolete in favor of 'application.'
Medieval and Renaissance English loved the suffix '-ment' to create nouns from verbs—'applyment' would have sounded normal then, but modern English replaced it with 'application,' which is shorter and more elegant.
