Meanings and usage

verb: to throw, to toss, to hurl
丟

The character has multiple senses across two etymologies (lose/discard vs. throw); the Teochew reading diu1 is tied specifically to the Southern Min 'alternative form of 擲, to throw/hurl' sense, so the gloss picks that sense rather than the Mandarin 'to lose' sense.
