Etymology

The word 'tossed' comes from the Middle English 'tosse,' derived from the Old Norse 'tวซss,' which means to toss or to throw. Its roots suggest a casual or light action, which is reflected in both verbal and physical forms of the word's usage. The evolution of 'toss' can be traced back to the need for a term that encapsulated light, dexterous throwing motions, which could apply in various contexts, from sports to cooking. The term has remained relatively stable in meaning through centuries of usage, maintaining its essence of casual, often playful, throwing. In modern English, it is commonly used in informal contexts and has expanded to various idiomatic expressions.
