One way to hold this word: something has been thrown, hard, and it has landed a long way from your hand. Both meanings are still standing at the throwing point, looking out. Throw once and a single thing lies far off in the distance. Throw a handful and the pieces come down all over the map, far from you and far from each other.
可以想成用力把東西往外一丟的畫面：東西落下來的地方，離你的手很遠。這個字的兩個意思都還站在丟的那一點往外看。丟一樣東西，它就落在很遠的地方；抓一把撒出去，碎片就散得滿地都是——離你遠，彼此之間也遠。
From the word’s history
Wiktionary records far plus flung (thrown), suggesting something thrown a long way away from oneself. The modern uses are still that picture.
來源記載這個字是 far（遠）加上 flung（丟出去的），指的是被丟到離自己很遠的地方。今天的用法基本上還是同一個畫面，沒有走遠。
