Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Old French 'aloter', combining the prefix 'a-' (from Latin 'ad-', meaning 'to') and 'lot' (of Germanic origin meaning a portion or share in casting lots). It entered the English language in the 15th century, initially retaining the religious and legal sense of distributing shares by lot before broadening to general apportionment.
