+ '''obiciō''' (present infinitive obicere, perfect active obiēcī, supine obiectum); third (-iō variant) conjugation^(Wiktionary)
+ Plautus has the old perfect subjunctives ''obiēxim'' and ''obiēxis''.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+ ==Etymology==
+ It is from [[ob-]] “towards, against” and [[iaciō]] “to throw”.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Etymonline)

+ The OLD's earliest citations are from Plautus, of putting food before animals.^(OLD 2012) Köbler dates Plautus c. 250–184 BC.^(Köbler 2010)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It meant to throw or put something before someone or in the way, as food to animals, to present to the eyes or mind, to bring misfortune upon someone, and to expose someone to danger, all in Plautus.^(OLD 2012) Lucretius used it of placing against, Varro of handing over, Livy of places lying opposite, and Cicero of interposing a barrier.^(OLD 2012) In Caesar ''religiōnem obicere'' was to raise a religious scruple, and in Cicero it meant to cite something against someone, to reproach them with it.^(OLD 2012)

+ Its participle ''obiectum'' “thing put before the mind” gave [[en|object]] in the late 14th century, and ''obiectiō'' gave [[en|objection]].^(Etymonline)
