Plural form of ejaculum; substances or materials that are ejected or thrown out suddenly.
Latin plural of 'ejaculum,' from 'ejaculari' (to hurl out), composed of 'e-' (out) + 'jaculum' (javelin or missile, from 'jacere' meaning to throw).
The Latin root 'jacere' (to throw) connects to English words like 'projectile' and 'trajectory'—and it's also where we get 'jactation,' meaning the compulsive throwing of objects!
