FIL: Ang matinding paghamak, pag-alipusta, o pag-insulto sa isang tao sa paraang nakakababa ng kanyang pagkatao o dignidad.
EN: to insult gravely; to scorn
This isn't your everyday "asar" or "lait." This is verbal demolition. It's when someone doesn't just make fun of you, they try to crush your soul with words. Think of a villain's monologue belittling the hero, or a really, *really* toxic argument where someone says things designed to destroy your self-worth. It's insult on hard mode.
From `dusta` (scorn, grave insult) + `-um-` (actor-focus infix). Possibly from Sanskrit दुष्ट (duṣṭa, “wicked, corrupt”).
A very strong word, often found in literature, formal speeches, or describing very serious verbal abuse.
