What does the suffix ject mean?

The suffix "-ject" comes from the Latin verb "jacere", meaning "to throw" or "to cast".

It generally implies action or process of throwing or casting something.

Here are some common examples:

* Inject: To throw something into (e.g., inject medicine)

* Eject: To throw something out (e.g., eject a CD from a player)

* Project: To throw something forward (e.g., project a movie onto a screen)

* Subject: To place under something, or to throw something under (e.g., subject someone to an experiment)

The suffix "-ject" is often used in scientific and technical contexts, but it can also appear in more general terms.
