EN: lowly, downtrodden, oppressed
This is some serious old-school drama word. Pang-Florante at Laura levels. It’s the feeling of being at the very bottom, yung tipong lahat na lang ng kamalasan sa mundo, sa'yo napunta. The universe is your ultimate basher. Today we'd just say "na-cancel" or "sad boi/girl," but **hinapak** has that historical weight.
From `hapak` (lowly, of low position). The `in-` infix indicates a state or quality.
A literary or archaic word. Not common in everyday conversation but might be found in formal speeches, literature, or historical contexts.
