Synonym Chooser

Some common synonyms of interject are insert, insinuate, intercalate, interpolate, interpose, and introduce. While all these words mean "to put between or among others," interject implies an abrupt or forced introduction.

interjected a question

The meanings of insert and interject largely overlap; however, insert implies putting into a fixed or open space between or among.

inserted a clause in the contract

While in some cases nearly identical to interject, insinuate implies introducing gradually or by gentle pressure.

insinuated himself into the group

Although the words intercalate and interject have much in common, intercalate suggests an intrusive inserting of something in an existing series or sequence.

new chapters intercalated with the old

The words interpolate and interject can be used in similar contexts, but interpolate applies to the inserting of something extraneous or spurious.

interpolated her own comments into the report

While the synonyms interpose and interject are close in meaning, interpose suggests inserting an obstruction or cause of delay.

interpose barriers to communication

In some situations, the words introduce and interject are roughly equivalent. However, introduce is a general term for bringing or placing a thing or person into a group or body already in existence.

introduced a new topic into the conversation

According to its Latin roots, interject ought to mean literally "throw between". For most of the word's history, however, the only things that have been interjected have been comments dropped suddenly into a conversation. Interjections are often humorous, and sometimes even insulting, and the best interjections are so quick that the conversation isn't even interrupted.
