Definition
The act of bestowing; a gift or something that is bestowed.
Etymology
From 'bestow' plus the suffix '-age' (from Old French and Latin, indicating an action, result, or collection). This suffix appears in words like 'marriage,' 'passage,' and 'baggage.'
Kelly Says
Medieval and Early Modern English loved adding '-age' to create nouns—'bestowage' was the formal noun for the act of giving a gift, but modern English has mostly replaced it with simpler words like 'bestowal,' showing how languages naturally simplify over time.
