objeto

/obˈxeto/ · A2 · noun · m

object

📦🎯 objeto = English object with an -o; also covers objective (goal)

From Latin objectum, something thrown before you: ob (against) + jacere (to throw). Spanish dropped the c and kept the j, said like a harsh h: ob-HEH-to. One word does the work of both English object and objective.
