In law and government, appropriation (from Latin appropriare, "to make one's own", later "to set aside") is the act of setting apart something for its application to a particular usage, to the exclusion of all other uses.
It typically refers to the legislative designation of money for particular uses, in the context of a budget or spending bill.
