Definition
The act of forcing a liquid (usually medicine) into the body using a needle and syringe, or the liquid itself.
Etymology
From Latin 'injicere,' meaning 'to throw into,' composed of 'in-' (into) and 'jacere' (to throw). The -tion suffix converts the verb to a noun, with -s marking plural.
Kelly Says
Injections actually bypass your digestive system entirely, so medicines reach your bloodstream much faster—that's why vaccines and insulin need needles instead of pills!
