EN: to come to one's senses; to act with good judgment
It's what your mom tells you to do when you're about to make a bad decision. "Maghuwisyo ka nga!" means "Get a grip!" or "Use your brain!" It's the opposite of being 'pasaway' or 'matigas ang ulo'. It's the moment of clarity after doing something stupid.
From Spanish 'juicio' (judgment).
ROOT MEANING: judgment
Often used as a command or an admonition to someone who is acting irrationally or immaturely.
