proiciemus

Proiciemus is a Latin verb form meaning “we shall throw forth” or “we will cast forward.” It is the first person plural future indicative active of the verb proicere, which means to throw forth, cast forward, or project. The verb is built from the prefix pro- meaning forward and a root associated with throwing.

Etymology and usage: Proicere combines a forward-oriented prefix with a base meaning to throw. In classical Latin, the sense covers both literal throwing of objects, such as weapons or matter being cast aside, and broader figurative uses, such as projecting or presenting something for consideration, or advancing an argument or plan. The form proiciemus appears in texts when the speaker or writer is describing a future action by “us.”

Related forms and derivatives: Proicere has a range of tenses and voices, including present forms like proicio and perfect forms like proieci. Nouns derived from the verb, such as proiectus (thrown forth, projected) and proiectio (a throwing forth, projection), have contributed to English words such as project and projection.

Remarks: Proiciemus is primarily a grammatical form noted in Latin dictionaries and grammars. Its use illustrates how Latin commonly expresses forward action—both physical throwing and metaphorical projection—through the pro- prefix combined with a throwing verb.
