depositato

Depositato is the past participle and adjective of the Italian verb depositare, meaning to place, put away, or file. It denotes that something has been placed in a location, stored, or officially recorded. The term derives from Latin depositare, formed from de- (down, away) and ponere (to place).

In everyday Italian, depositato describes objects or sums that have been set aside or entrusted to someone or somewhere: for example, denaro depositato in banca (money deposited in a bank) or documenti depositati presso un registro (documents filed with a registry). In legal and administrative contexts, it is common to hear phrases such as depositati in giudizio (documents filed in court) or depositato presso l’ufficio competente, indicating that material has been lodged with an authority.

In finance, the word is used to indicate funds placed into an account or trust, as in saldo depositato or importo depositato sul conto. In science and engineering, depositato can describe a material layer laid down on a substrate by a deposition process, such as film depositato mediante deposizione fisica o chimica.

The term is versatile and appears in various registers, retaining the core sense of “having been placed, stored, or recorded.” Its form agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies and is frequently found in contractual, administrative, financial, and technical language.
