interject, interpolate

interject, interpolate
These words are related in meaning because of their common prefix (See inter-). To interject is "to put between," "to introduce between parts": "Let me interject another topic at this point." "The speaker then interjected several remarks that he hoped would amuse his hearers." Interpolate conveys much the same meaning as interject but is usually applied to the insertion in written matter of material that is false, deceptive, or extraneous: "Someone has interpolated several passages in the court records."
