Etymology
The French verb **poser** comes from Latin *posō, posāre* “to put, set down,” which in turn is derived from the Proto‑Indo‑European root *pei‑ “to lay, place.” In Old French the word appeared as *poser* (also spelled *poiser*), preserving the sense of placing or setting something down and later expanding to the figurative sense of “to pose a question” or “to pose a problem.”
