Subject: rubynuby - confused by method name "inject"

Can anybody explain to me how the Enumberable#inject method is 
"injecting" something into something?  I find it very difficult remember 
method names when I don't "get" them.  So far in Ruby, "inject" takes 
the cake for least understandable method name (with my own particular 
convoluted gray matter).

Can somebody give some examples of its use and state in words how it is 
"injecting" something into something?

thanks,
jp

P.S.
If anybody wants to take a stab at "collect", that would be welcome 
also.
