EN: to have someone go home; to send someone home
What your boss does at 5 PM (if you're lucky). Or what you do to your clingy friend at a party at 3 AM. "Bes, lasing ka na, magpauwi ka na sa jowa mo." (Friend, you're drunk, have your boyfriend/girlfriend send you home.) It can also mean bringing home a pasalubong: "Nagpauwi siya ng lechon."
From 'magpa-' (causative prefix) + 'uwi' (go home).
ROOT MEANING: going home; the act of returning home
Can mean to dismiss someone, to allow someone to go home, or to send something home with someone (as in 'pauwi').
