EN: to look down on, to belittle
This is what happens when someone gives you the "side-eye" because of your P100 ukay-ukay OOTD, not knowing it looks better than their branded outfit. It's the act of underestimating someone's worth, like when they don't think you can hit your sales quota but then you end up being the top agent. Don't let them matahin you!
From `mata` (eye) + `-hin` (object-focus verb suffix). Literally "to eye something/someone" in a diminutive way.
ROOT MEANING: eye
Carries a strong negative connotation of condescension and disrespect.
