The word "injection" derives from Latin iniectio ("a throwing in"), formed from in- (into) + iacere (to throw). The root ject (from iacere) appears in many English words (e.g., "eject," "project"), consistently conveying the idea of "throwing." Over time, "injection" specialized in medical and technical contexts, reflecting the action of introducing substances or data forcefully into a system.
