Origin and Evolution of inject

First Known Use: 1601 year

Language of Origin: Latin

Story behind the word: The word 'inject' originated from the Latin word 'injectus', which is the past participle of 'injicere' meaning 'to throw in'.

Evolution of the word: Over time, the word 'inject' has come to specifically refer to the act of introducing a substance into the body using a needle or syringe, as opposed to its broader meaning of 'to throw in' in Latin.
