Etymology of INTERJECTIONAL

The word "interjectional" comes from the noun "interjection", which originated from Latin. In Latin, "interiectio" referred to the act of throwing or placing between. It was derived from the verb "intericere" which comprises "inter" meaning "between" and "iacere" meaning "to throw". Over time, "interjection" took on the specific meaning of a word or phrase that is thrown or inserted into a sentence to express strong emotion or surprise. The adjective form "interjectional" then developed from this noun, describing something related to or characteristic of interjections.
