throwing
Hurling through air
Throwing is the act of propelling something through the air with a motion of the arm: He's been throwing darts all evening.
Beyond physical objects, throwing extends to abstract projections—throwing a glance, throwing shade, throwing a party.
To throw oneself into something is to engage with full commitment.
Throwing a game or match means losing deliberately.
