Definitions

  1. make a deposition; declare under oath

Word origin

Recorded 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.

Used in a sentence

  • additional mud deposed upon it
  • A deposed monarch may go into exile as pretender to the lost throne, hoping to be restored in a subsequent revolution.
  • a tyrant over his subjects, and therefore worthy to be deposed
