if i is the first character you digit, yes, it goes in insert mode,
while, using it before a text-object, it means "inner"-text-object, in
this case, "inner word".
So, reassuming, the complete command is:

yiw

Which means:
y -> yank
iw -> inner word on which the mouse is on regardless the cursor's
position on the word

to paste it, just press p or P

Note, to paste a text from a buffer (:reg to see them) you must first
select the buffer name and then press p.
E.g. to paste the buffer number 7, you must digit "7p
