Etymology : Apposite and opposite sound so much alike that you would expect them to have a common ancestor—and they do. It is the Latin verb ponere, which means “to put or place.” Adding the prefix ad- to ponere led to apponere, meaning “to place near” or “to apply to,” and that branch of the ponere family tree budded apposite. The word is used to describe something that applies well to or is very appropriate for something else. To get opposite, the prefix ob- was added to ponere, and that combinition matured into opponere, meaning “to place against or opposite.” The related Latin verb componere, meaning “to put together,” gave us compound and composite.
