Why is -ment a noun?

It's easily a noun. For example, let's take a commonly used one. Attachment.

The attachment on your email didn't come through.

Another one is department.

His department was in charge of this job.

Allotment could be another one. Allotment means a piece of something, or literally from dictionary.com "a portion or thing alloted, a share granted".

All of these words are nouns. They are things. Attachment is a thing. Department is a thing. Allotment is a thing.

The allotment I have is $60 of the company.

It's a bit awkward, but it shows how allotment is a noun.

I hope this helps you!
