EN: to embezzle
This is the action version of "dispalkador." It's the act of siphoning off funds that aren't yours. Imagine you're in charge of the budget for a project, tapos you "adjust" the receipts to pocket the extra cash. 'Yan ang pag-dispalko. It's a quiet, sneaky kind of stealing.
Mula sa salitang Espanyol na "desfalcar" (to embezzle), na nilapian ng "-hin."
