This is what one particular online English-to-Latin translator produces when fed the English sentence "Let he [sic] who is without sin cast the first stone". It's entirely bogus Latin with no semblance of grammar or meaning.
When it fell to St. Jerome, producer of the Vulgate Bible, to translate the same phrase (from John 8:7) into Latin in the fifth century, his version was Qui sine peccato est vestrum primus in illam lapidem mittat, "Whoever is without sin among you, let him first throw a stone at her".

What does the root -ject mean?
'-ject' means 'to throw'. It comes from the Latin word 'iacio, iacere, iaci, iactum,' or perhaps from 'iacto, iactare, iactavi, iactatus'. They mean the same thing: 'to throw'. We derive 'eject', 'subject', 'project', 'reject', 'inject', and 'interject' from this word.
What is the root word of dejected?
Latin "deicere," from "de" + "jacere," meaning "thrown down." Today it's used only in adjective form, as in "The players were dejected after their loss."
What is the meaning of Latin iaceo?
Iaceo (or, since the invention of the letter j, often jaceo) means "I lie" or "I am lying" - in the sense of being stretched out on a surface, not of being untruthful. It is the first-person singular present active indicative of the verb iacere (jacere), "to lie".This word is not to be confused with iacio/jacio, which means "I throw". The infinitive of the two verbs is spelled the same, but the infinitive "to lie" has a long e in the infinitive ending. Consequently iacēre "to lie" is pronounced with an accent on the second syllable, while in iacere "to throw" the accent is on the first syllable. (Both are three-syllable words; the initial i/j is a consonant.)
