Etymology

The French noun **position** comes from Latin *positio* “place, setting”, itself derived from the verb *ponere* “to put, place”. It entered Old French in the 13th century with the same basic sense of a physical spot or stance, and later expanded metaphorically to mean a strategic or advantageous stance, as in *une position favorable*.
