Something that's thrown out while using it (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anchor

(Other definitions for anchor that I've seen before include "Ship's brake" , "Make fast" , "Device for keeping ship in place" , "TV journalist" , "Ship-mooring device" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
