EN: to divorce (someone)
This is the verb form of the ultimate uncoupling. When you hear someone say "Diniborsiyuhan niya ang asawa niya," it's the chismis jackpot. It means one person initiated the legal breakup. It's the action of using that (currently unavailable in the PH) 'unsubscribe' button on your spouse.
From `diborsiyo` + `-han` (verb suffix).
