Large storage facilities or warehouses where goods, vehicles, or supplies are kept; also, train or bus stations where transportation vehicles are stored or dispatched.
From French 'dépôt' (from Latin 'depositum,' something placed down). The term entered English in the 1700s as military and commercial logistics became more organized and centralized.
Modern logistics companies like Amazon have figured out that depot placement is everything—your package speed depends less on shipping time than on which warehouse it gets routed through. Depot science is basically the math that made same-day delivery possible.
