Root Explanation

Object → It is formed from "ob-" (meaning against) and "jacere" (meaning to throw). The word originally referred to something that is thrown against or presented to the mind, hence an object of thought or perception.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'thrown against' ('ob-') your attention or perception ('jacere') — that's why we call it an object.
