throws
Launches through air
Throws is the act of propelling something through the air with a motion of the arm: She throws the ball to first base.
Beyond physical throwing, it extends to causing or directing: throws a party, throws a tantrum, throws shade.
To say something throws you is to say it confuses or unsettles: His question really threw me.
In wrestling, a throw takes an opponent to the ground.
A throw is also a light blanket draped over furniture.
