I recently learned this word and I have found several examples. I am hopeful that I will be able to use it more. Here is what dictionary.com tells us about the origin
“Jactation comes straight from the Latin noun jactātiōn– (the inflectional stem of jactātiō) “a flinging or throwing about, a shaking or jolting, tossing of the waves at sea,” and by extension, “frequent changing of one’s mind or attitude, boastfulness, grounds for boasting.” Jactātiō is a derivative of the verb jactāre “to throw, hurl, toss,” a frequentative verb from jacere “to throw, toss, sow (seed), cast (anchor).” Jactation entered English in the 16th century.” Yes that’s a quote.

Always good to learn new words.
I do love words and they are always coming up with more.
I am learning new words, thanks
You are very welcome. Are you going to teach us a new one tomorrow?
I will have to figure out a post to use it in! always love fun words!
I will be watching for it. I have not figured one out either.
I wonder what the application would be for compliments. His compliments, often filled with Jactation leave something to be desired!
Word power is makes getting a great way to have a strong grasp of words that can inspire people to look up their meaning.
I haven’t used it yet but if there is a need, then, I could probably use it in the future. Thank you for sharing.
I do love learning new words. Odd, but true.
I have known about the word Jactation a long time ago and have used it in more than one occasion but i haven’t write it down and I don’t know its exact spelling. Now I know how to spell it correctly.
Well that is wonderful. Thanks for letting us know.
Interesting! Additional vocabulary.
Even i use it , no body will understand it
That is a new word for me. It is interesting and I will consider how it might work in a post.
Cool, I will be looking to see if anyone really does.
That’s a new one, a word one teacher used to use was “Juxtaposition” and that I believe was being next to something else. I may try the “Jactation” word with a stormy sea, that may work.
I find that words can be very entertaining and challenging.
You are right Ghostwriter, I may yet need to call on other peoples expertise on writing in the future……
