EN: to be closed (unintentionally); to cause to be closed
This is what happens to your favorite milk tea shop when the landlord raises the rent. It's also that "oops" moment when you accidentally slam the car door on someone's hand, causing it to close. "Sorry na, besh! Hindi ko sinasadyang mapasara yung pinto sa daliri mo!" It's the accidental, "ay, hala!" version of closing something.
ma- (unintentional action prefix) + pa- (causative prefix) + sara (close)
ROOT MEANING: to close, to shut
The 'mapa-' prefix often indicates an unintentional or involuntary action. In this case, it can mean either 'to be unintentionally closed' or 'to unintentionally cause something to close.'
