Etymology
Κατάθεση comes from the ancient verb κατατίθημι, a compound of the prefix κατά (down) and τίθημι (to put, to place). The noun form, ancient κατάθεσις, literally means a putting down. Over time it narrowed to specific senses: money placed in a bank, a statement placed on record with police or a court, and documents placed on file.
