EN: to have (one's head) cut off
This is the more personal version of 'mapugot'. It's not just 'a head was cut off,' it's 'SOMEONE had their head cut off.' It's the difference between seeing a news report and being the subject of it. Used in the phrase 'mapugutan ng ulo'.
The affix '-an' indicates the location or recipient of the action. In this case, the person whose head is being cut off.
