/hag-PU-sin/
FIL: Ang akto ng paulit-ulit na pagpalo o paghampas gamit ang isang bagay na mahaba at nababaluktot, tulad ng latigo o sinturon.
EN: to whip; to lash
Old-school parental discipline, but make it dramatic. This is more than just a 'palo' (hit); it implies a whip-like object (like a belt or branch) and a swift, stinging motion. The kind of punishment you see in historical dramas. Not to be confused with 'hagurin' which is to stroke. One is ouch, the other is aaah.
ROOT MEANING: slack; loose (from being stretched)
The root 'hagpos' (whip) is a homonym of 'hagpos' (slack, loose). The two are unrelated in meaning. This verb implies a more severe and often repeated action of striking compared to 'hampasin'.
