The act or fact of disposing of something; arrangement or settlement, especially in legal or formal contexts.
From dispose + -ment (French-influenced noun suffix). An archaic or legal term largely replaced by 'disposal' in modern English, though still found in formal documents.
In old legal documents, 'disposement of the estate' appears instead of our modern 'disposal'—language gradually sheds these ornate suffixes as people prefer shorter, simpler words.
