The Chinese word 注射 (zhùshè) for "injection" is composed of two characters: 注 (zhù) and 射 (shè). The character 注 originally meant "to pour" or "to inject", and it is often used in words related to liquids or fluids. The character 射 originally meant "to shoot" or "to launch", and it is often used in words related to projectiles or weapons. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 注射, which literally means "to inject" or "to shoot in". This word is used in Chinese to refer to the medical procedure of injecting a liquid into the body, such as a vaccine or medication.
