Definitions

  1. (sports) the act of throwing the ball to another member of your team

Word origin

From Middle English tossen (“to buffet about, agitate, toss; to sift or winnow”), of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Old Norse (compare dialectal Norwegian tossa, dialectal Swedish tossa (“to strew, spread”)), or perhaps from an alteration of Middle English tosen (“to tease, pull apart, shred; to wound, injure”). Compare also Dutch tassen (“to pile or heap up, stack”).

Used in a sentence

  • "We are all in a toss, in our neighborhood," said Mistress Pottle.
