bestowal

/bɪˈstəʊ.əl/ noun

The act of bestowing.

Word Origin From Old English 'bestōwian', from 'be-' 'thoroughly' and 'stōw' 'place' — so 'bestow' means 'to place thoroughly, to give, to confer'. 'Bestowal' is the noun form. The root 'stōw' is related to 'stead', 'stand', 'state'. The suffix '-al' makes it a noun of action. So bestowal is the act of placing something on someone.
