'implantation' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'implantare,' where 'in-' meant 'into' and 'plantare' meant 'to plant.'

'implantare' transformed into the French word 'implanter,' and eventually became the modern English word 'implantation' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to plant into,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'embedding or inserting something into a body or structure.'
