Flailing

Flailings (verb) to beat or swing with or as if with a flail.

An infant discovers that random flailings send the baby bottle flying out of the crib and crashing to the floorOriginal Sentence: The sails on the boat were flailing in the wind.

The context clue is logic and because one can infer that flailing will have something to do with the result being the bottle flying in the air and that would be a baby throwing it.

I flailed blindly to defend myself against a kangaroo.
