Example of a confusing word: invasion (an incursion)

▪The invasion of funds was crucial for the startup.
▪The incursion of money was crucial for the startup.
"Infusion" means "the introduction or addition of something," especially in terms of funds or resources, and is correctly used in the context of supporting a startup. "Invasion," on the other hand, means "an incursion by a large number of people or things," typically used in a negative or hostile context. Using "invasion" in this sentence is grammatically incorrect and changes the meaning entirely, as it suggests an unwanted or forceful entry, which does not fit the context. Therefore, "infusion" is the correct choice.
