Crossword Genius

Disconcert cast (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

throw

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'disconcert' is the first definition.
(I know that throw is a more specific form of the action disconcert)

'cast' is the second definition.
(I know that cast can be written as throw)

(Other definitions for throw that I've seen before include "Light cloth cover for furniture" , "Cast, lob" , "Light rug" , "Deliberately lose" , "Try not to win" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Telegraph.
