[ FEW: 9,161a ponere; Gdf: ∅; GdfC: ∅; TL: ∅; DEAF: ∅; DMF: ∅; TLF: ∅; OED: ∅; MED: ∅; DMLBS: 2342a ponere ]
 

This rare verb is ultimately a Latinism, a calque of ponere, appearing in texts that may have a Latin source or that have a semi-Latinate context. Latin ponere, as an etymon, normally produced the verbs poser (derived from the p.p. form) and pondre1 (‘to lay (eggs)’) in Anglo-Norman.
