EN: to be mauled by; to be devoured by
The passive, more dramatic version of 'lapa'. This is what you scream when you're the main character in a horror movie getting chased by an aswang. 'Huwag! Baka ako'y **lapaan** ng halimaw!' Also describes your DMs after you post a fire selfie.
The suffix '-an' indicates the location or recipient of the action, often in a passive sense. This form is less common than 'lapain'.
