're-deposit' originates from the modern English prefix 're-' (from Latin 're-' meaning 'again') combined with 'deposit', which ultimately comes from Latin 'depositum'.

'deposit' came into English via Middle English and Old French from Latin 'deponere'/'depositum' (to put down, lay aside); later English formed compounds with the prefix 're-' to indicate repetition, producing forms like 're-deposit'.

Initially, 'deposit' primarily meant 'to place down or put aside' (from Latin), and over time specialized to include 'to place money in a bank'; 're-deposit' therefore evolved to mean 'to deposit again'.
