(Latin: providere, to take care, provide)

A general term, used in ecclesiastical language to denote any concession of an ecclesiastical office. In the Church there are many offices held by clerics, and the general designation of the particular cleric to an office is called provision. Free appointment or collation, election, postulation, etc., are simply modes of provision.
