Appose
From this, it is logical that if one poses a question, the question is then apposed, i.e. examined closely.pose (v.2)
"to puzzle, confuse, perplex," 1593, earlier "question, interrogate" (1526), probably from M.Fr. poser "suppose, assume," from O.Fr. poser (see pose (v.1)). Also in some cases a shortening of Eng. appose "examine closely," and oppose. Poser "question that puzzles" is from 1793.
"Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening all at once. Lately it hasn't been working."
