Inject

/ɪnˈdʒɛkt/ verb

To inject is to force a liquid, usually medicine, into something, often using a needle and syringe. It can also mean to add something new, like energy or ideas, into a situation.

It comes from Latin “inicere,” meaning “to throw in” or “to put into,” from “in-” (into) and “iacere” (to throw). The idea shifted from throwing in to pushing liquid into the body.
