覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
throwing は throw「投げる」に -ing をそのまま付けた動名詞・現在分詞で、発音は「スロウイング」に近い。ここでは Throwing a ball is fun のように、投げる行為を名詞として表す。tossing より広く、腕を使って物を空中へ送り出す動作を指し、good at throwing や stop someone from throwing が定番。
Throwing is formed by adding -ing directly to throw; no letter is removed or doubled. It is pronounced with the two-part ending heard in “throw-ing.” Picture the arm moving and releasing a ball, stone, or piece of paper into the air. As a gerund, the whole action can serve as a noun: “Throwing a ball is fun.” Useful patterns include “be good at throwing” and “stop someone from throwing.” Tossing often suggests a lighter or gentler movement, while throwing is the broader word for propelling something with the hand or arm.

throwing の語源・成り立ち Etymology
throwing は throw に名詞化・動名詞化の -ing が付いた形で、throw は古英語 þrawan「ねじる・回す」に由来します。腕をひねって物を放る動作から「投げる」へ意味が伸びたので、throwing はまさに「投げること」。関連語は overthrow、throwaway です。
Throwing is the -ing form of throw. Throw is historically connected with Old English thrawan, which meant to twist, turn, or rotate. The modern sense developed from bodily movements involving turning or twisting before an object is released. Adding -ing allows the verb to describe an ongoing action or to function as a gerund naming the activity. Related compounds include throwaway and overthrow, although their meanings have developed in different directions.
