One way to picture it: something is pushed in from outside, through a narrow opening, into a body that is already closed and working. The stuff goes to the inside — where it takes effect — and it gets there by force, not by being poured or invited in.
From the word’s history
From Middle French injection, from Latin iniectio, from in- 'in' + iacere 'to throw' — literally 'a throwing in'. The Latin picture of throwing something in is still exactly what all three modern senses do.
injection 來自中古法語 injection、拉丁語 iniectio，拆開是 in-（進去）+ iacere（丟、投擲），字面就是「往裡面丟進去」。這個「投入」的動作感一直留到今天：不管丟進去的是藥、是錢還是燃油，都是從外面用力送進一個已經在那裡的容器或系統。（數學上的 injection「單射」是另一條路：由 Bourbaki 在 Éléments de mathématique 中引進的專門術語，不在本詞條的三個意思裡。）
