inyección

/inʝeɡˈθjon/ · B1 · noun · f

injection

💉 Cognate: in-yec-ción = in-jec-tion; the -ción ending matches English -tion

Both come from Latin injectio, to throw in. The Spanish spelling turns the j into y and the t into c, which gives in-YEC-ción. Like most -ción nouns, it is feminine: la inyección.
