Word origin
The word 'trajectory' originated in the early 17th century from Modern Latin 'trajectoria', from 'traject-' (meaning 'thrown across') and the suffix '-ory'. The term was initially used in mathematics and physics to describe the path of an object or projectile. Over time, its usage expanded to include career development and other fields where the concept of a planned course or path is relevant.
