Mete out; allocate (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allot

This clue is a double definition.

'mete out' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'allocate' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for allot that I've seen before include "Earmark" , "Dedicate" , "grant" , "Dish out" , "Assign (to someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
