Etymology
The term 'ejector' derives from the Latin word 'eject', which means to throw out. The word has evolved in English since the 19th century, specifically within the context of engineering and manufacturing. Initially gaining traction in firearm terminology, it referred to systems that would remove empty cartridges from a gun's chamber. Over time, the use of ejectors expanded to include various devices such as ejector seats in aircraft, designed to quickly eject pilots in emergencies, as well as in industrial contexts, where ejectors are employed to automate the expulsion of products within a manufacturing line. Ejectors function by creating a vacuum or utilizing pressurized fluids to facilitate their primary goal of ejecting objects effectively.
