Exception Terminology:

• When an exceptional condition occurs, an exception is “thrown” (i.e., the exception has been recognized). 

• The flow of control is tranferred to the point where the  exception is “caught” (I.e., where the exception-handling code responds to it).In the jargon of some other programming languages, when an exception is recognized, an exception is:

• “raised” (in place of “thrown”), then

• “handled” (in place of “caught”).

Same ideas, different jargon.
