Definition
An archaic or rare verb meaning to throw together, mix, or conjecture something without certainty.
Etymology
From Latin 'conjectus,' past participle of 'conicere' (to throw together), from 'con-' (together) plus 'jacere' (to throw), sharing roots with 'conjecture.'
Kelly Says
This verb is almost extinct in modern English, but it shows how 'throwing together' ideas became the basis for guessing and conjuring—our ancestors literally threw things together to make new combinations, which became metaphorical thinking!
