Tranche is a noun that refers to a portion of money.
Our word of the day comes from Old French where it is translated as ‘slice’ or ‘cut.’ When we refer to a tranche of something, we mean a portion that has been divided or cut away. Tranche is typically used to refer to money.
For example: Amanda’s Tranche of the profit came to seventy-five dollars. She was disappointed as she assumed her portion would be enough to pay this month’s rent.
