In terms of government, the word “reallotted” refers to the portion of pay that is authorized to be paid directly to another person. How do I know this? Well, the root word here is “allotted.” The word “allotted” refers to money or any form of pay that is given out in portions; it is another term for giving out money for people to share. In the military of the United States, re-allotment is used a lot. An officer or enlisted individual authorized the pay that is being distributed, and from there, it is given out in portions. To simplify it, we can use an example: Let’s say I bought a cake but I am too sick to eat it. Instead of saving it for myself, I give it to three people and they all share it. Notice how in this example I gave out a singular cake and not separate cakes for the three people. This is representative of how re-allotment works in the government; money is given out as a whole, and people distribute it from that point on. If you need to understand this word better, feel free to let me know.
