insertion
Adding something inside
Insertion is the act of putting something into something else, or the thing that has been inserted.
A surgeon makes an insertion into tissue; an editor requests an insertion into a manuscript.
In anatomy, an insertion is where a muscle attaches to a bone.
The word often appears in technical contexts: The insertion of the catheter was routine.
In genetics, an insertion is a mutation where extra DNA gets added to a sequence.
