Best Answer

The act of bestowal is to present someone with an honour or gift, such as a rare gift or a special office or privilege. For example: "The key to the city was bestowed upon the hero."

In another sense it means to confer. For example: A host of legal rights are automatically bestowed upon a legally married couple.
