Interjection In Webster's Dictionary

\In`ter*jec"tion\, n. [L. interjectio: cf. F. interjection. See {Interject}.] 1. The act of interjecting or throwing between; also, that which is interjected. The interjection of laughing. --Bacon. 2. (Gram.) A word or form of speech thrown in to express emotion or feeling, as O! Alas! Ha ha! Begone! etc. Compare {Exclamation}. An interjection implies a meaning which it would require a whole grammatical sentence to expound, and it may be regarded as the rudiment of such a sentence. But it is a confusion of thought to rank it among the parts of speech. --Earle. How now! interjections? Why, then, some be of laughing, as, ah, ha, he! --Shak.
