replace

This term conveys a sense of substitution or restoration. When used to swap one item for another, it often implies an upgrade or a necessary fix for something that has failed or become obsolete. It suggests a direct one-to-one exchange where the new entity assumes the function or position of the old one.

In the context of returning an object to its original spot, the word emphasizes the restoration of order or a specific spatial arrangement. This usage is more restrictive than simply putting something away, as it specifically targets the previous location of the item.
