EN: to punish, to inflict a penalty
This is what your parents do when you stay out too late or what happens to your data allowance when you binge-watch K-dramas without WiFi. It's the consequence you pay for breaking the rules, from getting grounded to having your Netflix privileges revoked.
Possibly from Sanskrit 'paruṣa' (harsh, severe).
'Magparusa' is the actor-focus form, where the one doing the punishing is the subject. The object-focus form is 'parusahan'.
