EN: to end a life
A heavy word. It's what happens when a good idea gets shot down in a meeting before it even has a chance ('kinitil ang suggestion'). More seriously, it's used for ending a life, often prematurely. Think of it as hitting the 'end process' button on something that was just starting to load.
Often used in its conjugated form 'kitilin' (to end a life) or 'kinitil' (ended a life). It has a strong, often violent, connotation.
