The opposite of "to use" 用
About
The character "甩" originates from a modification of the character "用", meaning "to use", by adding a curved horizontal stroke that transforms its sense into actions like throwing or swinging. Structurally, this added hook atop "用" visually suggests the motion of flinging an object away. While its early meanings centered on physical acts such as discarding or waving, over time "甩" acquired extended metaphorical uses, including dismissing someone or ridding oneself of an abstract burden, thereby expanding its semantic field while maintaining a connection to forceful movement.
