Examples

  • By using an injection design pattern, the application can easily swap out services without modifying existing code.

  • In software development, injection allows developers to provide the necessary components to an object from an external source.

  • However, the mold lead times are similar to injection molding, and there are fewer materials from which to select.

Morphology

injection = inject (semi-transparent) = inject + ion

Formally derived from 'inject', but the software-engineering meaning is a specialized, metaphorical extension that may not be obvious to learners unfamiliar with programming.

Etymology

Injection comes from in- ('into') and ject ('throw'), keeping the simple image of 'putting something into' another thing, as in inject and eject. In programming, injection means giving a piece of code the parts or services it needs from outside instead of making them itself, which is like 'putting' those parts into the object.
