Payment divided (4)
I believe the answer is:
rent
I believe this is a double definition.
'payment' is the first definition.
(I know that rent is a type of annuity in advance)
'divided' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)
(Other definitions for rent that I've seen before include "breach" , "Let out - torn" , "Payment for use of house" , "money demanded by letter" , "Payment - in pieces" .)
