Definitions

  1. The act of dotating or bestowing something; endowment, or an instance of this.

Word origin

From Middle English dotacion, from Late Latin dotatio, from Latin dōtāre (“to endow”). By surface analysis, dotate + -ion. In sense 3, borrowed from French dotation, ultimately from the same origin.
