In-sĕrt', v. t.

v. t. [imp. & p. p. INSERTED; p. pr. & vb. n. INSERTING.] [Lat. inserere, insertum, from prefix in and serere, to join, connect; Fr. insérer, Pr. & Sp. inserir, Sp. also insertar, It. inserire.] To bring into; to introduce; to set within something; to put or thrust in; to cause to enter, or be included, or contained; as, to insert a cion in a stock; to insert a letter, word, or passage in a composition; to insert an advertisement or other writing in a paper.

These words were very weakly inserted where they will be so liable to misconstruction. Shillingfleet.
