Morphology

ejaculatory = ejaculate (transparent) = ejaculate + ory

Formed from the verb 'ejaculate' plus the adjective-forming suffix '-ory'; the adjective directly relates to the action of suddenly uttering or ejecting.

Etymology

Ejaculatory comes from Latin parts e- 'out' and jacere 'to throw', the same root as eject. Think of something quickly 'thrown out'—that's why an ejaculatory remark is a sudden, short exclamation.
