Presumably 'apposite' is related?

[Perry]

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.

From this, it is logical that if one poses a question, the question is then apposed, i.e. examined closely.
