Plaything thrown away, is one busy at the end of the working week? (7)

I believe the answer is:

frisbee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'plaything' is the definition.
(I know that Frisbee is a type of plaything)

'thrown away is one busy at the end of the working week?' is the wordplay.
'thrown away' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'is one busy' becomes 'bee' (as in the phrase 'busy as a bee').
'at' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'the end of the working week?' becomes 'Fri' (Friday).
's'+'bee'='sbee'
'sbee' put after 'fri' is 'FRISBEE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for frisbee that I've seen before include "Toy disc skimmed through the air" , "Light, plastic disc for throwing" , "One may be thrown" , "Disc plaything" , "Thrown plastic disc-like toy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
