Etwas mit Kraft schnell in eine Richtung werfen oder im Kreis sehr schnell drehen.

The German word "schleudern" is a verb meaning "to fling," "to hurl," or "to spin".

It comes from the root verb "schleudern" itself, without prefixes.
It generally refers to throwing something with force or spinning something rapidly (e.g., a washing machine "schleudert" to spin-dry clothes).

werfen (to throw)
werfen implies a simple throw without necessarily much force or spin.
schleppen (to drag) — different in meaning; involves pulling, not throwing.
rotieren (to rotate) — focuses on spinning without the element of forceful throwing.

Schleudern emphasizes both throwing forcefully and/or spinning quickly, while werfen is more general "to throw" and rotieren simply means "to rotate" without the throwing aspect.
