the.com/transplantation

means The surgical act of moving a tissue or organ from one body (or site) to another so it takes root and functions anew.

from From Latin transplantare — trans ('across') plus plantare ('to plant'), the same plantare that gives us 'plant.' Latin writers first used it for moving seedlings from one plot of soil to another; by the 1600s English had borrowed 'transplant' for shifting living things in general, and by the 20th century, as surgery caught up with the metaphor, it took root — so to speak — as the word for moving organs between bodies.
