"The question is, what aspect of control are [they] inverting?" Martin Fowler posed this question about Inversion of Control (IoC) on his site in 2004. Fowler suggested renaming the principle to make it more self-explanatory and came up with Dependency Injection.

For insight into IoC and DI, refer to Fowler’s article at http://martinfowler.com/articles/injection.html.
