Meaning
verb force to leave (an office)
verb make a deposition; declare under oath
originRecorded since c.1300, from Middle English, from Old French deposer, from de- (“down”) + poser (“to put, place”). Deposition (1494 in the legal sense) belongs to deposit, but that related word and depose became thoroughly confused.
