Etymology

The word 'chuck' originates from the Middle English word 'chukken', which meant 'to throw'. The term can be traced back to Proto-West Germanic *kukkan, which also means 'to throw'. It is related to the Old Norse word 'kuka' and the Old High German word 'kuhhan', both of which involve the act of throwing or tossing. The informal use of 'chuck' to denote throwing something in a careless manner developed over time, reflecting a more relaxed attitude towards the action. In modern usage, 'chuck' has also been adopted in various colloquial phrases and idiomatic expressions, further emphasizing its informal nature. The past participle version, 'chucked', became widely accepted in English vernacular, particularly in British English, and retains a casual connotation.
