subcutaneously

/səbˌkjuˈteɪniəsli/ adv

Under the cutaneous layer of the skin.

Word Origin From Latin 'sub' (under) and 'cutis' (skin) — literally under the skin. That's why a subcutaneous injection goes just beneath the skin. The 'cutis' root also gives us cuticle (little skin) and cutaneous (relating to skin).
