EN: To run away from (someone/something); to abandon
This is the verb form of 'ghosting' before ghosting was a thing. It's when you leave a person, a job, or a problem behind. 'Nilayasan ako ng jowa ko' is the OG 'I got ghosted.' It's the act of noping out of a situation.
From 'layas' + '-an' (locative/causative suffix).
Implies that the person/place being left is the one being acted upon.
