mete
Dispense in portions
Mete means to distribute or allot, almost always appearing with "out": The judge meted out harsh sentences.
The word carries a sense of measured, deliberate dispensation—justice meted out, punishment meted out.
It's formal and somewhat literary, rarely used for casual distribution.
History will mete out its judgment.
