implante

/imˈplante/ · B2 · noun · m

implant

implante — implant

🦷 implante = im- (in) + plante (plant): something planted into the body

Spanish implante looks almost like English implant. Break it into in + plant: a thing planted inside. Same idea as planting a seed in soil, but here the soil is the body, like a dental implant.
