to abandon; to discard
🗑️ 抛 toss + 弃 discard = toss it out and discard it for good
抛 means to throw or fling, and 弃 means to abandon or give up on something. Stacked together they intensify into casting aside for good, like flinging trash into the bin and walking off.
抛 — hand radical 扌 + 抛 phonetic 尥/包-like element
抛 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The hand radical 扌 carries the meaning of throwing or casting away, fitting actions done with the hand. The right side originally served as a phonetic clue, and over time 抛 settled into its modern sense of 'to throw, toss, or abandon.'
