Word origin

The word 'apportionable' originated from the combination of 'apportion' and the suffix '-able'. 'Apportion' comes from Middle French 'apportionner', from Old French 'aportiomer', based on Latin 'ad' (to) and 'portio' (portion). The suffix '-able' is used to form adjectives meaning 'capable of, fit for, tending to'. The term has been used in legal contexts for centuries to describe the ability to allocate or distribute something among different parties.
