To throw or throw out, often but not necessarily forcefully. Has a fairly flexible range of meaning, and has sometimes been used as an exclamation while throwing something. Despite most people only hearing about the word recently, it is of old English origin, having variant spellings recorded including ȝeȝt, yeght, and yeit. It was traced to French éjecter, which in turn comes from Latin iaceō and Proto-Indo-European *(H)yeh₁- (“to throw, let go”), and is ultimately of the same origin as the word "eject". According to some interpretations, the Irish word "feck" is a fairly close synonym.
