EN: to revile, to scorn, to mock
This is high-level bashing. It's not just simple 'asar' or teasing. This is deep, scornful ridicule, often directed at someone's race, status, or origin. Think of villains in historical epics looking down on the hero. It's a word you'd find in Jose Rizal's novels, not in a typical Twitter flame war, though the sentiment might be the same.
ROOT MEANING: mockery, scorn, ridicule
A very formal and literary word. 'Aglahi' itself is a noun meaning 'scorn' or 'revilement'.
