Additional Information

Etymology

1. 1506, possibly from a Scand. source (cf. dialectal Norw. tossa "to strew, spread"). Food preparation sense (with ref. to salad, etc.) is recorded from 1723. The noun meaning "an act of throwing" is first recorded 1660. Tosspot "heavy drinker" is from 1568. Toss-up "even matter" first recorded 1809, from earlier sense of "a flipping of a coin to arrive at a decision" (c.1700). Tosser as a term of contempt in British slang is recorded from 1977, probably from slang toss off "masturbate" (1969); cf. jerk (n.).
2. 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”).
3. The Welsh tos (“a quick jerk”) and tosio (“to jerk, toss”) are probably borrowed from the English. See: Swedish 'tossa', Middle English 'tosen', Dutch 'tassen'.
