In mathematics, the process of transposition allows us to move a term from one side of an equation to the other with a change of sign.

transposition = position (semi-transparent) = trans + position
The components 'trans-' + 'position' give the general idea of moving or changing place, but the precise mathematical sense (moving a term across an equation with a sign change) is specialized and not fully predictable by an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Transposition comes from trans- 'across' and position 'place', so it means moving something to the other side, and in math a transposition moves a term across the equals sign with a change of sign to help solve an equation.
