The KJV renders 27 different Hebrew and Greek words as “set”
What it means
set apart, i.e. (by implication) to send out (properly, on a mission) literally or figuratively
from G575 (ἀπό) and G4724 (στέλλω);
How the KJV renders it
put in, send away, forth, out, set
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
