The act or result of forming a conspiracy or secret plan; a conspiracy that has been formed.
From 'complot' plus the suffix '-ment', following English word-formation patterns to create an abstract noun. The term appears in 16th-century texts describing political conspiracies.
This word is the nominal form of conspiracy—it transforms the verb 'to complot' into an object you can discuss, like 'the complotment against the throne.' It's rarely used today, replaced by the simpler word 'conspiracy.'
