FIL: Ang akto ng paghagis o pagbato ng isang bagay, karaniwang may puwersa.
EN: act of throwing; pitching
It's the "Yeet!" of the Filipino vocabulary. It’s how you throw trash in the bin (or try to), how you pass the ball in piko, or how you dramatically toss your ex's stuff out the window. It's a throw with a bit of flair and intention.
Likely from Spanish "echar" (to throw, to cast).
ROOT MEANING: to throw, to toss
Synonymous with "paghagis" and "pagbato". "Itsa" often implies a more casual or forceful underhand/overhand throw.

🇵🇭 Isang maling pag-itsa lang ng basura at may multa ka na.
