Forms

Compound verb: 放(ほう)る (to throw) + the compound-forming suffix 込(こ)む, which adds the sense "in, inward". This 込(こ)む is a different word from the independent verb 込(こ)む (to be crowded) and has no entry of its own.

Common patterns

  • 〜を〜に放(ほう)り込(こ)む - throw something into somewhere; the destination takes に rather than へ, because the point of arrival matters, not the direction

ASPECT (ている):
放(ほう)り込(こ)んでいる normally reads as a repeated or in-progress action, not as a resulting state. To describe the thing as already sitting in the container, use the passive 放(ほう)り込(こ)まれている.

Usage

Implies carelessness, haste, or force:

The last is figurative: with a person as the object, the verb says the person was put somewhere unpleasant with no regard for their wishes.
More casual and forceful than 入(い)れる, which is neutral about manner. Compare 放(ほう)り出(だ)す, the same base verb with the opposite direction (to throw out, to abandon).
