thrawnadj.adv.  Brit.  /θrɔːn/, U.S. /θrɔn/, /θrɑn/, Scottish English /θrɔn/, Irish English /θrɒːn/Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: thrown adj. Etymology: Originally a Scots variant of thrown adj. (compare thrawn, past participle of throw v.1: see Forms 3a α. at that entry), now usually distinguished in form in the senses below (compare throw v.1 I.).Early forms with final -in show regular variation of a type also seen in the past participle forms of throw v.1; in later use such forms appear to have sometimes been reinterpreted as reflecting -in (also -in' ), variant of -ing suffix2, and as a result are sometimes written with a final apostrophe (compare thraavin' and thrawin' at α. forms).
