## AI Etymology
interjectory comes from Latin interjectus, past participle of intericere ('to throw between'), from inter- ('between') + iacere ('to throw'), + -ory. Morphologically, the ending is part of the etymology: the suffix is attached to the older base named in the history, producing a later English derivative. In present English, the adjective sense is "of the nature of an interjection; thrown in parenthetically", so the historical development ends in a clearly identifiable modern dictionary use. The same base also appears in related forms such as interjection and interject. Its semantic neighborhood includes parenthetical, exclamatory, and interjectional, which helps locate the modern sense without adding a separate etymological claim. The named historical forms include Latin intericere and Latin iacere.
