| 释义 | projection (once / 1050 pages) 1n 2n 3n 4n 5n 6n When you push something away from a central structure, that's called projection. If you predict that the Jets will win tomorrow's game, that's a projection, too — you're pushing your mind away from the present and into the future.

A jet plane throws itself — or projects itself — away from a central structure (the Earth) and into the air.
