[1525–35; < Medieval Latin] al′lo•ca`tive, adj. allocationIn a general sense, distribution of limited resources among competing requirements for employment.

This expression, dating from the 1500s, alludes to the practice of marking the ears of cattle and sheep to show ownership. An even older example of “earmarking” comes from Exodus 21:6: … his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever. Figuratively, earmarked is often used in regard to monetary allocations although it is heard in other contexts as well. I need only earmark sufficient time in the summer for certain people whose hospitality I’ve accepted. (S. McKenna, Happy Ending, 1929) lion’s share The largest portion; a disproportionately large share; all or most. This expression is derived from Aesop’s fable in which three animals joined forces with a lion for a hunt. When dividing their quarry, the lion claimed three fourths as his: one fourth as his just share, one fourth because of his great courage, and one fourth for his lioness and cubs. The lion offered the remaining fourth to any of the fellow-hunters who was able to defeat him in a fight. The intimidated animals declined the challenge, however, and left empty-handed. The art of finding a rich friend to make a tour with you in autumn, and of leaving him to bear the lion’s share of the expenses.

H. Rashkin: Industry is getting its share of the prosperity pie.
