EN: to cause destruction or dispersal, to scatter
Imagine a toddler left alone with a roll of tissue paper. The result? The toddler decided to **magwalat**. It's the act of causing chaos and dispersal. It's what happens to your salary on payday—it gets scattered to all your bills. Or what a typhoon does to a poorly built kubo. It's destruction, but in a 'scattered to the four winds' kind of way.
From 'mag-' (verb prefix) + 'walat' (destroyed, scattered).
This is a less common term, often found in literary or formal contexts, describing a state of being ruined and scattered.
