Depune comes from Latin deponere, a combination of the prefix de- (down, away) and ponere (to put, to place). The Latin verb already carried the sense of setting something down for safekeeping or formally placing it on record, which is why Romanian depune covers both depositing money and submitting official papers. The same Latin root spread across the Romance languages with similar bureaucratic and financial senses.
