EN: to cause to droop or wilt; to cause exhaustion
This is what the summer heat does to plants and people. It's that feeling after a long commute on EDSA, or after a whole day of meetings that could have been an email. You feel drained, weak, and just want to lie down. That's being 'pinalupaypay'. The verb is to cause that state.
From `mag-` (verb prefix) + `pa-` (causative prefix) + `lupaypay` (drooping, weak).
ROOT MEANING: drooping; wilted; weak
Can be used literally for plants and figuratively for people's energy or spirit.
