This Latin term is derived from the verb "traiectus", which means "thrown through" or "hurled across" and is a combination of the prefix "trans-" (meaning "across" or "through") and the verb "iacĕre" (meaning "to throw" or "to hurl").
2. Formation of "trajects": The verb-forming suffix "-s" is added to the noun "trajectory" to create the plural form "trajects". This suffix typically denotes the third person singular present tense form of a verb.
