The word "chucked" is the past tense of the verb "chuck". The etymology of "chuck" can be traced back to the Old English word "ċēocan", which meant "to throw" or "to hurl". It further developed into Middle English, where it took the form "chukken" or "chekken" with a similar meaning. Over time, this word evolved into the modern English "chuck", which typically means "to throw or toss something in a casual manner". Consequently, the past tense form "chucked" emerged from this development.
