TOSSES Meaning and
Definition
-
Tosses is the plural form of the verb "toss," which refers to the action of throwing something lightly or casually, often with a quick or abrupt motion. It involves propelling an object through the air without much force, usually using a flick or an underarm movement. Tosses can be performed with various objects, such as a ball, a coin, a frisbee, or even a salad. The term typically implies a lack of precision or accuracy in the throw, focusing more on the act of getting the object airborne rather than aiming it at a specific target.
Tosses can also denote a gentle movement or displacement of something in a random or haphazard manner. For instance, when describing the way feathers or leaves are carried by the wind, one might say they are tossed in the breeze. This conveys a sense of lightness and unpredictability in their movement. Similarly, when referring to someone's hair being tousled or ruffled, it suggests that it has been thrown into a slightly disordered state by the wind, a playful action, or intentional messing.
Overall, tosses encompass a range of actions involving the casual and often unplanned act of flinging or displacing objects or materials, evoking a sense of informality, lightness, and randomness.

Etymology of TOSSES
The word "tosses" is derived from the verb "toss", which originated from Old English "tossian". This Old English term meant to throw or fling something with force. The word "tossian" can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic root "tursjaną". Over time, the word "toss" evolved to have additional meanings such as to move or agitate something in a restless or chaotic manner. From this, the noun "toss" emerged, referring to an act or instance of throwing or being thrown. The plural form of this noun, "tosses", therefore pertains to more than one act or instance of tossing.
