📚 Etymology▼

Comes from the Latin word *obiectio*, which meant 'a placing against' or 'a charge.' It combines the prefix *ob-* (against) and the root of *jacere* (to throw). So, the word literally means 'throwing something against' an idea or proposal.

First recorded: 15th century

Frequently Asked Questions

¿Por qué 'objeción' lleva acento (tilde)? (Why does 'objeción' have an accent mark?)

The accent mark on the 'o' is necessary because Spanish words ending in -n, -s, or a vowel are normally stressed on the second-to-last syllable. Since the stress in 'objeción' falls strongly on the final syllable (-ción), we must use the accent mark to show this exception to the normal stress rule.
