EN: to kill secretly; to eliminate
This is the darker, action-movie version of the word. When a witness in a movie "knows too much," the villain will order his goons, "Iligpit 'yan." It's a euphemism for assassination, a permanent way of 'tidying up' a problem.
From 'i-' (causative prefix) + 'ligpit' (kept, stored), used euphemistically to mean "to put away permanently."
This is a euphemism for "to kill" or "to assassinate," often used in the context of crime or conflict. It implies a clandestine, summary execution.
