EN: to cause someone to get tired of or fed up with something
This is what happens when your favorite song becomes your alarm clock sound. At first, it's great. After a month, you hate it. The song didn't change, but you were overexposed. You can also do this to people. Keep giving someone their favorite food every single day, and eventually, you'll "magpasawa" them. It's the act of turning a 'want' into an 'ugh, not again' through over-saturation.
ROOT MEANING: fed up, tired of, jaded
A causative verb. The subject of the verb is the one causing the feeling of being "sawa" (fed up) in someone else.
