Summary: The Latin word root *ject* means 'throw.' Many common words are 'thrown' about each day which use this root, including e[*ject*], re[*ject*], ob[*ject*], and pro[*ject*]or. Perhaps a pointed way to help remember this word is when you receive an in[*ject*]ion, which is a shot 'thrown' into your body.
