EN: to muzzle; to gag
Literally, to put a gag on someone to shut them up, like in an action movie. Figuratively, it's what you want to do to yourself when you almost spill a secret, or what happens when you're so shocked ('nabudol') that you can't speak. 'Para kang binusalan' means you're speechless.
Can be used literally for animals (muzzle) or people (gag), and figuratively for silencing someone.
