Placing or leaving something in a particular location, or putting money into a bank account.
From Latin 'depositum,' the past participle of 'deponere' (to put down). The word originally meant leaving something with someone for safekeeping, a meaning that still exists in modern banking.
When you deposit money at a bank, you're using the exact same concept as ancient Romans—you're entrusting your valuables with someone you believe will keep them safe and return them on demand.
