THROWING Meaning and
Definition
-
Throwing is a verb that refers to the action of propelling or flinging an object through the air using force from one's arm or hand. It involves a deliberate effort to release the object in order to project it forward with speed and accuracy. Throwing can be done with various objects, such as balls, stones, or projectiles, and is often used in sports, recreational activities, and everyday tasks.
The process of throwing typically involves several key components. Firstly, it requires the individual to grasp the object firmly, ensuring a secure hold for effective release. Secondly, the arm is extended backward in a preparatory motion, generating momentum and potential energy as the individual winds up. Then, in a coordinated motion, the arm is rapidly propelled forward, transferring the stored energy into kinetic energy, which propels the object forward. Finally, the object is forcefully released from the hand, allowing it to travel through the air and reach the intended target.
Throwing can serve numerous purposes, ranging from recreational activities like playing catch, to competitive sports such as baseball, javelin, or discus throwing. It also has practical applications in daily life, such as throwing a frisbee at the park, throwing a dart at a dartboard, or even throwing garbage into a waste bin. Throwing requires skill, coordination, and practice to achieve accuracy, distance, and control.

Etymology of THROWING
The word "throwing" traces its etymology back to the Old English word "þrawan" or "þrāwan", which meant "to turn, twist, or rotate". This Old English verb is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*thrēaną". Over time, the meaning of "þrawan" expanded to include the act of casting or projecting a missile or object through a turning or twisting action, giving rise to the sense of "throwing". It is worth noting that the original Proto-Germanic word "*thrēaną" also had the broader meaning of "to turn" or "to twist", which is still visible in modern English words like "thread" and "through".
