Definition of insertion

insertionnoun

chèn

/ɪnˈsɜːʃn//ɪnˈsɜːrʃn/

The word "insertion" derives from the Latin verb "inserere," which means "to place or put in." This verb was formed by combining the prefix "in-," which indicates movement towards or into something, and the verb "serere," meaning "to fasten or secure." In medieval Latin, "insertio" referred to the act of inserting a text, such as a sermon or speech, into another text, often as an explanation or supplement. This use of the word can be seen in medieval manuscripts, where the physical insertion of a piece of paper or parchment into a кни (book) was a common method of adding additional text. Over time, the meaning of "insertion" shifted to include other forms of adding something into a text or object, such as inserting a line of stitching or weaving a thread into a garment. Today, the word "insertion" is widely used in various fields, such as computer science (referring to the act of placing data into a computer memory or storage device) and genetics (referring to the insertion of a foreign DNA sequence into a host genetic material).
