EN: to castrate
What the vet does to your pet cat or dog so they don't contribute to the growing population of strays. It's the ultimate "snip-snip" procedure. In human context, it's used hyperbolically to mean rendering someone powerless or emasculated. "Ayaw ko na mag-asawa, baka kapunin lang ako!"
From 'kapon' (castrated) + '-in' (verb suffix).
Primarily used for animals. Using it for humans is often metaphorical or hyperbolic.
