Etymology

The word 'pitched' originates from the Middle English word 'picche', meaning 'to throw or toss'. It is related to the Old French word 'pichier', which means 'to throw or hurl'. The term has evolved over time, especially in the context of baseball, where 'pitching' refers to the act of throwing the ball to the batter. In addition to its literal meaning, 'to pitch' has also developed a metaphorical sense in business and marketing, where it refers to the act of presenting ideas or proposals.
