inject

Put in forcefully

To inject is to introduce something into another thing, typically by force or pressure.

The core use is medical—injecting fluid through a needle into the body: The nurse injected the vaccine into his arm.

The meaning extends to introducing anything into a system or situation: inject capital into a struggling business, inject humor into a tense conversation.

In computing, code injection is inserting malicious commands into a program.

The word always implies insertion from outside, often with the sense of adding what wasn't there before.
