The answer
PITCH
What pitch means
The highness or lowness of a sound, determined by the frequency of vibrations, or the act of throwing something forcefully through the air.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *pic*, borrowed from Latin *pix* (pitch, tar). The Latin word itself may derive from a pre-Indo-European source, possibly related to Greek *péssa* (pitch). The sense of "throw" developed separately, likely from Old English *picchen*, of uncertain origin but perhaps influenced by the noun pitch when describing the arc of a thrown object.
