FIL: Ang pagbibigay ng parusa sa isang tao, karaniwan sa isang bata o tinedyer, sa pamamagitan ng pagbabawal na lumabas ng bahay o gumamit ng mga gadyet.
EN: to ground (as in punishment)
The ultimate horror story for a Gen Z kid. This is what happens when your mom finds out you failed a subject or stayed out too late. 'No gadgets for a week! Bawal lumabas! You're grounded!' It's the verbal form of having your wings (and your Wi-Fi) clipped.
From English 'ground'.
This is a colloquial, Taglish term. The formal Filipino equivalent would be something like 'parusahan sa bahay'.
