      Meaning of yeet in English

      “to throw something with a lot of force”

      – Oxford English Dictionary

        It comes from Latin iactare meaning “to cast”. Over time the c was dropped as French evolved and the i shifted to a y consonant and we get yeter. Once it was borrowed into English it further changed as it simplified the ending and following the great vowel shift.

        I am lying but most of those bits are facts and I’m actually describing the etymology of jet. Also the proto Indo European ye is hilariously uncanny.

        Looks like I learned something today. Though is there something wrong with just saying “threw”?
