Transplant

/trænsˈplænt/ verb

Definition

To move something living, such as a plant or an organ, from one place and set it firmly in another place.

Etymology

From Latin *transplantare* “to plant across,” from *trans-* “across” + *plantare* “to plant.” It first referred to moving plants and later was applied to body parts and organs in medicine.

Kelly Says

Gardeners were using the word long before surgeons: moving a rosebush and moving a kidney share the same verb. Even people are sometimes called “transplants” when they move to a new city and try to put down roots there.
