Etymology of DEPOSIT

The word "deposit" comes from the Latin word "deposītum", which is the past participle of the verb "deponere". The Latin term is derived from the prefix "de-" meaning "down" or "away", and the verb "ponere" meaning "to put" or "to place". Hence, "deponere" signifies "to put down" or "to place aside". Over time, the term was adopted into Old French as "depositer", and then entered Middle English as "depositten". Eventually, it transformed into the modern English term "deposit", referring to a sum of money placed or kept in a bank account.
