Have you heard about the new injectant they are testing for allergies?

Yeah, I read something about it; it sounds promising!

I wonder how effective that injectant really is in treating symptoms.

It could be a game changer if it works as they say.

Root Explanation

Injectant → It is formed from "in-" (meaning into) and "jacere" (meaning to throw). The word "injectant" refers to something that is thrown or introduced into something else, typically in a medical or scientific context.

Memory Tip

Think of something being 'thrown into' ('in-') another substance — that's why injectant means a substance introduced into something.
