laserjet

/lˈæzɚdʒˌɛt/ noun

A laser printer.

Word Origin Laserjet combines laser, an acronym for 'Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation,' and jet, from Latin iacere 'to throw.' A jet is something thrown out, like a stream of ink or air. The same iacere root gives us inject (throw in), project (throw forward), and reject (throw back). So a laserjet printer throws ink or toner with laser precision.
