'throwable' originates from the English word 'throw,' combined with the suffix '-able,' where 'throw' meant 'to propel through the air' and '-able' meant 'capable of.'

'throw' changed from the Old English word 'þrāwan' and eventually became the modern English word 'throw.'

Initially, 'throw' meant 'to twist or turn,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to propel through the air.'
