Crossword Genius

Threw fellow an organ (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flung

'threw' is the definition.
(flinging is a kind of throwing)

'fellow an organ' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'F' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'an organ' becomes 'lung' (lung is a kind of organ).
'f'+'lung'='FLUNG'

(Other definitions for flung that I've seen before include "Cast aside" , "Threw" , "Hurled" , "Thrown with force" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
