/ˌtrænsplɑːnˈteɪʃn//ˌtrænsplænˈteɪʃn/

The word "transplantation" has its roots in Latin. "Trans" means "across" or "beyond", and "plantare" means "to plant". In the 15th century, the term "transplantare" was used in the sense of "to move something across" or "to transfer something elsewhere". In the context of medicine, the word "transplantation" was first used in the 17th century to describe the transfer of a part of a body from one person to another. This was also known as "heteroplasty" or "alien grafting". The term "transplantation" was officially recognized in 1896 when the term "Organ Transplant" was used to describe the transfer of a kidney from one person to another. Since then, the word "transplantation" has expanded to encompass a wide range of medical procedures, including organ transplantation, tissue transplantation, and bone marrow transplantation, among others.
