About This Root
From Latin positus, past participle of pōnere (to place). While pos-/pose captures the verb forms, posit- emphasizes the result of placement: position (where something is placed), positive (firmly placed, certain), opposite (placed against), repository (a place where things are stored). Posture originally meant 'how the body is placed.'
