In the context of objects or substances, eject typically involves forcibly pushing or propelling them from an enclosed area or container.

Etymology of EJECT
The word eject derives from the Latin word ejectus, which is the past participle of eicere. Eicere is a combination of the prefix ex- meaning out and the verb jacere meaning to throw. Therefore, eicere literally means to throw out. Over time, ejectus was borrowed into Old French as jecter and then into Middle English as ejecten. Eventually, it evolved into its modern form eject.
