Morphology
inject = ject (semi-transparent) = in + ject
The prefix 'in-' (meaning into/inside) signals insertion, but the root 'ject' is a non-standalone combining form so learners may not fully deduce the word from its parts.
Etymology
Inject comes from Latin parts in- meaning 'into' and ject meaning 'to throw', the same root you see in eject and project. So to inject is like 'throwing' a liquid or medicine 'into' the body with a needle.
