insertieren

Insertieren is a German verb meaning to insert something into another object or sequence. It is mainly used in technical and professional contexts, such as computing, data handling, publishing, and medicine. In everyday language the more common term is einfügen, but insertieren appears in specialized terminology, especially when translating or describing English-language interfaces and documents.

Etymology and form: Insertieren is a loanword formed with the -ieren suffix from the English verb insert, itself tracing back to Latin inserere. The verb paradigm is regular: ich insertiere, du insertierst, er insertiert; past participle insertiert; noun das Insertieren (rare).

Usage domains: In computing and databases, insertieren describes adding a new record or element, for example "Daten in eine Tabelle insertieren." In document workflows one may say "ein Objekt insertieren" or "eine Seite einfügen"; in medicine, procedures may refer to inserting a device, often described with "einsetzen" or "einbauen" as standard terms. In software localization, UI labels may present the English term "Insert" or the German equivalent "Einfügen," depending on style guides.

Relation and comparison: The neutral, general synonym is einfügen; insertieren is perceived as more technical or anglophone.
