   That's why we have two different languages here ;-)   
      
   Compounds, like basic verbs, have different registers in either language.

   Limited use.   
      
   https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/vervangen   
    From when "vaen, vangen" still meant to get, receive, take.   
   To take in place of, to receive in place of, ... to replace.   
      
   "Ersetzen" seems a loan translation of "replace".   
      
   https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/verzetten#Dutch   
   means a.o. to shift position, to resist, to perform ("werk", work).   
   "Het verzet" = resistance, "een verzetje" = a leisurely diversion.   
      
   (G. has "er-", "ver-", "her-" with different scopes)
