Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Modern Latin trajectorium, stemming from the Latin trajectus, meaning 'a throwing across' or 'crossing over', formed from trans- ('across') and jacere ('to throw'). Originally entering English in the 17th century primarily as a mathematical and astronomical term for the curve described by a body moving under the action of given forces, it has since broadened metaphorically to describe any sequential course or progression over time.
