Etymology

The term 'interject' originates from the Latin word 'interiectus', which is the past participle of 'intericere', meaning 'to throw in between'. The prefix 'inter-' means 'between', and 'jacere' translates to 'to throw'. This concept of 'throwing in between' has remained consistent through its evolution into English. By the early 19th century, 'interject' was being used in English to describe the act of interrupting the flow of speech with an interjected remark. The use of the term can often be observed in various social contexts, indicating moments where one speaker disrupts another, whether to add information, disagree, or contribute humor. Throughout its usage, 'interject' has maintained its core meaning while adapting to diversifying conversational styles.
