EN: to be executed by hanging
A very heavy word, straight out of a history book or a dramatic movie. This refers specifically to execution by hanging, like what happened to Gomburza. Not a word you use lightly. It's the ultimate 'game over' in the most brutal way.
From `ma-` + `bitay` (hanging, execution).
Specifically refers to the act of capital punishment by hanging.
