The body's way of filing a formal complaint about something you just did.
means Damage or harm done to a living body (or by extension, to a cause, reputation, or relationship).
from From Latin injuria, 'wrong, injustice, insult' — itself built from in- (not) plus jus (right, law). So an injury was originally a legal and moral concept, literally an 'unlawful act' or 'wrong done to someone,' before it narrowed in English to mean physical harm to the body specifically.
