Original entry ↗The act of throwing something. · A move in which one lifts or unbalances one’s opponent and then brings him down to the ground. · One’s ability to throw. · The distance travelled by something thrown.
To hurl; to release (an object) with some force from one’s hands, an apparatus, etc. so that it moves rapidly through the air. · To eject or cause to fall off. · To move to another position or condition; to displace. · To make (a pot) by shaping clay as it turns on a wheel.
From Middle English throwen, thrawen, from Old English þrāwan (“to turn, twist”), from Proto-West Germanic *þrāan, from Proto-Germanic *þrēaną (“to twist, turn”), from Proto-Indo-European *terh₁- (“to rub, rub by twisting, twist, turn”). Cognate with Scots thraw (“to twist, turn, throw”), West Frisian triuwe (“to push”), Dutch draaien (“to turn”), Low German draien, dreien (“to turn (in a lathe)”), German drehen (“to turn”). Displaced warp as the word for hurling and was displaced by warp as the word for twisting. The use in computing comes from the fact, that in programming languages a statement reporting an error interrupts normal processing and sends an error object up the function calling stack until a handling statement intercepts it. Thus an “object” is “thrown” and “flies” until it is “caught”.
