throwout
Refuse and discard
A throwout is something discarded or rejected—a defective product removed from a batch, a player ejected from a game, or in baseball, an out made by throwing to a base.
In automotive contexts, a throwout bearing is the component that disengages the clutch when you press the pedal.
The quality inspector set aside the throwouts.
