What does DEPONE mean in Scrabble?
verb
legalScots
To give sworn evidence as a witness, or to state something under oath.
In Scots courts a witness is said to depone when speaking on oath, and the matching noun deponent names the person who does so. The verb comes from the Latin for to lay down, as if the witness were putting a statement on the record. English lawyers use depose for the same task, while depone is now mostly confined to Scotland and to older legal texts.
