EN: to put ash on; to cover with ash
This is what happens to your grilled tilapia or liempo when the charcoal gets a bit too excited. It's also a classic prank, or what you do to the fire to put it out. In a more figurative sense, it's like getting 'cancelledt' or having your bright idea shot down and covered in the 'ash' of negativity.
From 'abo' (ash) with the infix '-in-' and suffix '-an'.
ROOT MEANING: ash; gray
Can be used literally for covering something with ash or figuratively for ruining something. This is the completed action (past tense).
