Subject: Choice of the word "inject" vs what the method actually does (method naming)

The word Inject essentially means to introduce something into a  
system and yet the inject method iterates over a series elements  
carrying forward some sort of result at each next step.

Hence would it not make more sense to name it " accumulate" which  
seems to me more explicit and intuitive?

Yes I realize that an alias may be used for this, however, I am  
looking for insight as to the reason "inject" was chosen over  
something better suited like accumulate.

(Eg. I am not looking for "just use alias" or "it's tradition" or  
"that's just how it is" as answers.)

Thank you very much for any insight and/or good discussion on this.
