Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Medieval Latin objectivus, stemming from objectum meaning 'thing put before' (from ob- 'in front of' + jacere 'to throw'). The term evolved from philosophical use regarding objects of perception to describe a goal or a viewpoint uninfluenced by personal emotions.
