injertar

Spanish

Etymology

Semi-learned borrowing from Latin īnsertāre (to insert, to introduce in), frequentative of īnserō (to put in, to insert) (preterite īnseruī, supine īnsertum). Present meaning developed by confusion of the above base verb with the homonymous verb īnserō (to plant, to graft) (preterite īnsēvī, supine īnsitum), whose frequentative would be *īnsitō. The confusion arose very early; Columella (4 AD - c. 70 AD) already uses the former īnserō to mean "to graft".
