Distribute to all (5)

I believe the answer is:

allot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'distribute to all' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'distribute to all' is the wordplay.
'distribute' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'to'+'all'='toall'
'toall' anagrammed gives 'ALLOT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for allot that I've seen before include "deal" , "Assign or distribute" , "budget" , "split up" , "Assign (to someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
