Historia y curiosidades

The word 'object' comes from Latin 'obicere' meaning 'to throw before' or 'to oppose.' This explains its dual meaning: something thrown in front of you (a physical object) and something thrown against an idea (an objection). The grammatical 'object' of a sentence is what receives the action.
