Do you mean "deposition"? (Pronounced /ˌdɛpəˈzɪʃən/.) The word has several common meanings — here are the main ones:
- Legal: a deposition is sworn, out‑of‑court testimony recorded for use in a lawsuit (part of discovery). Lawyers ask questions; answers are under oath and can be used at trial or to impeach a witness.
- Geology/geomorphology: the process by which sediments, soil, or rock are added to a landform (e.g., a river depositing silt at a delta). It’s the opposite of erosion.
- Chemistry/physics/materials science: the process of material accumulating on a surface. That includes phase change deposition (gas → solid, like frost forming) and engineered techniques for making thin films/coatings (e.g., CVD, PVD, sputtering, electroplating).
- Historical/political: removal of a person from office or power (the deposition of a monarch).
Which context did you mean? I can explain that one in more detail or give examples.
