英文詞源
- depot
- depot: [18] A depot is literally a ‘place where something is deposited’, a ‘depository’. The word comes, via French dép?t, from Latin dēpositum (source of English deposit [17]), the past participle of dēpōnere ‘put down’. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix dē- ‘down’ and pōnere ‘put, place’ (source of English position), and also produced English depose [13] and deponent [15].
=> deponent, depose, deposit, position - depot (n.)
- 1795, "warehouse," from French dép?t "a deposit, place of deposit," from Old French depost "a deposit or pledge," from Latin depositum "a deposit," noun use of neuter past participle of deponere "lay aside" (see deposit (v.)). Military sense is from 1798; meaning "railway station" is first recorded 1842, American English.
