repose
Pronunciation:
riˈpōz/
verb
[with object] (repose something in)
Place something, especially one’s confidence or trust, in: we have never betrayed the trust that you have reposed in us
Origin
late Middle English (in the sense 'put back in the same position'): from re- 'again' + the verb pose1, suggested by Latin reponere 'replace', from re- (expressing intensive force) + ponere 'to place'.
