EN: to exercise (something)
The command form for 'use it or lose it.' This is what your brain tells your body to do after eating a whole lechon, or what your tita from the US tells you to do with your 'right to remain silent' when another tita asks about your love life.
From 'ehersisyo', from Spanish 'ejercicio'. The 'e' is often dropped in colloquial speech, becoming 'hersisyo'.
A less common verb form compared to 'mag-ehersisyo'. This form is transitive, focusing on the thing being exercised (e.g., a right, a body part).
