Word origin

引进 (yǐnjìn, "bring in") is built from 引 (yǐn, "draw") + 进 (jìn, "enter"), expressing the movement of an outside resource into a system where it can be used.

Usage tips

  • The noun after this verb usually names an outside resource, such as a person, method, product, or idea, rather than a place or a simple physical object being moved.
