A quick definition of appointment:

An appointment is when someone is chosen for a job or duty, especially for a government position. It can also mean the office or position that someone has been appointed to. In parliamentary law, it refers to naming someone to a position without an election. Appointment can also refer to the act of disposing of property through a power of appointment. Illusory appointment is a type of transfer of property that is not really effective.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Appointment refers to the designation of a person for a job or duty, especially for a public office. It can also refer to the act of disposing of property through a power granted for that purpose.

  • The President has the power of appointment for principal federal officials, subject to senatorial consent.
  • John received a high appointment in the federal government.
  • The committee members were named through appointment rather than election.
  • The tenant made an appointment of lands through a power of appointment.

The first example illustrates how appointment can refer to the naming of someone to a public office. The second example shows how appointment can refer to a specific office occupied by someone who has been appointed. The third example demonstrates how appointment can be used in parliamentary law to name an officer or committee member. The fourth example shows how appointment can refer to the act of disposing of property through a power of appointment.

Overall, appointment refers to the act of designating someone for a job or duty, or the act of disposing of property through a power granted for that purpose.
