Throws in random directions (8)
I believe the answer is:
scatters
'throws in random directions' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for scatters that I've seen before include "Strews in all directions" , "Throws here and there, as with seeds (8)" , "Disperses in all directions" , "Disperses or strews" , "Disperses and throws around" .)
