rethrown

Rethrown is the past participle form of the verb rethrow in English, and can also function as an adjective describing something that has been thrown again. It is used where the second throw follows an initial one.

Etymologically, rethrown is built from the prefix re- plus throw, conforming to standard English derivation. While rethrow as a verb is common in present and past tense, rethrown as a past participle is far less frequent in everyday usage and tends to appear in formal or technical writing.

As a past participle, it appears in passive constructions: "the ball was rethrown after the line judge returned it." As an adjective, it can modify a noun to indicate a second throw: "a rethrown baseball."

In software development, the term rethrow is widely used to describe throwing an exception again after a catch. In informal writing, the same sense may be expressed as "rethrown" to denote that an exception has been rethrown, for example: "The error was caught and rethrown." Some languages provide syntax to rethrow without losing the original stack trace.

Rethrown does not designate a specific standard concept beyond its general meaning; it is not a widely used specialized term, and its usage may be inferred from the verb rethrow rather than existing as a separate concept.
