Etymology

The French noun *implant* comes from the verb *implanter*, which was borrowed from Latin *implantāre* “to plant in.” *Implantāre* is formed from *in-* “into” + *planta* “plant” (Latin *planta*), itself derived from Greek *plántha* “plant.” The noun entered French in the 15th century and later acquired its modern medical meaning.
