Etymology

The term 'ejaculatory' is derived from the Latin word 'ejaculari', which means 'to throw out' or 'to expel'. This Latin root itself is composed of two parts: 'ex-' meaning 'out' and 'jaculare' meaning 'to throw'. The word has been utilized in the English language since the late 16th century, primarily within medical and anatomical contexts, to describe the expulsion process associated with reproduction. The usage of 'ejaculatory' has expanded over time, and it now also pertains to various related physiological concepts, such as the ejaculatory duct and ejaculatory reflex. In modern medical literature, it is commonly discussed in relation to male sexual health and reproductive functions.
