Origin
Derived from Latin 'objectum' (thrown, object), the past participle of 'obicere' (to throw against). In Medieval Latin, it evolved to signify 'something placed before the mind' in philosophical discourse. The term entered English in the 16th century, developing the modern sense of 'impartial' or 'unbiased,' contrasting with subjective judgment.
Breakdown
object (from Latin objectum, something thrown or placed before) + -ive (adjective-forming suffix) + -ly (adverb-forming suffix), creating an adverb denoting manner or quality of being objective.
