Etymology
Insertion comes from the verb insert, which has the Latin part in- meaning 'into' and a root meaning 'to put'. Think of pushing a key into a lock or a small tube into the body; an insertion is the action of 'putting in' one thing inside another, which is why we use it for surgical or mechanical actions.
