'objector' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'objectare,' where 'ob-' meant 'against' and 'jectare' meant 'to throw.'

'objectare' transformed into the Old French word 'objecter,' and eventually became the modern English word 'objector' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to throw against or oppose,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a person who opposes or disapproves.'
