Show solution

Each word is (roughly) synonymous with a phrase composed of one of
{throw, make, get, take} and one of {out, away, up, over}:

        out       away       up        over
        ---       ----       --        ----
throw:  evict     discard    vomit     revolt
make:   neck      steal      invent    transfer
get:    leave     flee       stand     recuperate
take:   date      minus      begin     assume control
