deployment

  • /dɪˈplɔɪmənt/

Where it comes from

From French déploiement. Also de- + ployment.

noun deployments

  1. countable, uncountable An arrangement or classification of things.
  2. countable, uncountable An implementation, or putting into use, of something.
  3. abbreviation, countable, ellipsis, uncountable Ellipsis of software deployment, the installation of software, in particular on servers. The exception to this methodology is emergency updates, which have too short a deployment window to make staged deployment practical. When an update package is scheduled to be deployed in stages, the target groups must be identified as part of the deployment preparation.
  4. countable, uncountable The distribution of military forces, especially prior to battle. Deployments […] which cause the soldier to turn his back to the enemy are not suited to war.
  5. countable, uncountable The start of something.
