3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: ad- (Latin, meaning "to" or "towards") - functions to create a verb from a noun or adjective.
• Root: ject- (Latin jacere "to throw") - related to the concept of throwing or placing, but here forming part of the verb stem.

• Suffix: -iser- (French, verb-forming suffix, from Latin facere "to make") - transforms the stem into a verb.
• Suffix: -ons (French, first-person plural present indicative ending) - indicates the subject "we" and the tense "present".
