Derived from the Latin 'insertio', from 'inserere' meaning 'to put into, implant' (comprising 'in-' meaning 'into' and 'serere' meaning 'to join, weave, or connect'). The term entered the English language in the late 16th century, initially retaining its anatomical and mechanical senses of adding or putting something into a larger whole.
