Brit.

/ˌpɒlᵻsᵻˈteɪʃn/,

/pəˌlɪsᵻˈteɪʃn/, U.S.

/pəˌlɪsəˈteɪʃ(ə)n/

Forms: 1500s– pollicitation, 1800s– policitation (nonstandard); also Scottish pre-1700 pollicitacioun, pre-1700 pollicitacone.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin pollicitātiōn-, pollicitātiō.

Etymology: < classical Latin pollicitātiōn-, pollicitātiō a promise < pollicitāt- , past participial stem of pollicitārī to promise (see pollicitate v.) + -iō -ion suffix¹; compare -ation suffix. Compare Middle French, French pollicitation (late 15th cent.). Compare later pollicitate v.

Now chiefly historical.

The action of promising; a promise; a document conveying a promise. Also Civil Law: a promise not yet formally accepted, and therefore in certain cases revocable.
