@davidrevoy @BjoernJagnow Ah, so more closely related to (but still not the same as) "deposition" in English. Definition 4 at Wiktionary: "The process of taking sworn testimony out of court; the testimony so taken."

@linebyline Yes, it looks like this "deposition" meaning is close, but exclusively in English for court/law language. Good to know.
Words that are close like that between my native language and English are painful. I do many mistakes of meaning because of them 😅
