Etymology
طَرَح comes from the Semitic triliteral root ط-ر-ح, whose core sense is to throw or cast something down. Classical usage covers throwing off a load or casting something to the ground. Modern Arabic extends this to abstract throwing: putting forward an idea, raising a question, offering shares on a market, and subtracting a number.
