depot

depot: [18] A depot is literally a ‘place where something is deposited’, a ‘depository’. The word comes, via French dépôt, from Latin dēpositum (source of English deposit [17]), the past participle of dēpōnere ‘put down’. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix dē- ‘down’ and pōnere ‘put, place’ (source of English position), and also produced English depose [13] and deponent [15].
=> deponent, depose, deposit, position
