EN: to abuse
This is what happens when someone gets a little bit of power and suddenly thinks they're the final boss in a video game. From corrupt officials to that one micromanaging team lead, 'mag-abuso' is the act of using your position to make others miserable. It's the ultimate 'with great power comes great irresponsibility' move.
From Spanish 'abuso' (abuse).
ROOT MEANING: abuse, misuse, maltreatment
Often used in contexts of power dynamics, such as domestic violence ('pang-aabuso sa tahanan'), substance abuse ('pag-abuso sa droga'), or abuse of authority ('pag-abuso sa kapangyarihan').
