EN: to cause anguish; to afflict with sorrow
A synonym for `bigyang-dalamhati`, but maybe with a more poetic, old-school flavor. It's the kind of word you'd find in a Florante at Laura-esque text. It’s deep, profound sadness, the kind that makes you want to stare at the rain with a sad OPM song playing in the background.
From 'bigay' (give) and 'hapis' (anguish, sorrow).
Extremely formal and literary. Almost never used in modern, everyday speech.
