Distributing into portions
Parceling is the act of dividing something into portions for distribution.
Land gets parceled among heirs, tasks get parceled out to team members, responsibilities get parceled across departments.
The word emphasizes division into distinct units: The parceling of the estate took months to sort out.
In nautical use, parceling is wrapping tarred canvas around a rope to protect it from weather.
