Word Origin & Etymology
As a noun meaning the act of restoring something to its original place, it entered English in the late 15th century from Late Latin repositio, from Latin reponere ('to put back'). The common modern verb sense meaning 'to change the position of' arose independently in the 20th century from re- + position.
