EN: to have someone killed; to cause a death
This has major teleserye kontrabida energy. It's when you don't do the dirty work yourself, but you hire a hitman or set up a situation that leads to someone's demise. It's the ultimate "I-dedelegate ko na lang ang paghihiganti" move.
Not to be confused with 'magpatay' (mag-PA-tay), which means 'to turn off' (e.g., ilaw, TV). The stress on the syllable is crucial for the meaning. 'Magpapatay' /mag-pa-pa-TAY/ (future tense of 'to cause death') vs 'Magpatay' /mag-PA-tay/ (command to turn off).
