EN: to be disowned, to be repudiated
This is the ultimate "You're not my child anymore!" moment in a teleserye, usually followed by dramatic music and someone fainting. It's when your family or community cuts you off, often because you broke a major rule or chose a path they don't approve of. It's the social version of being unfriended and blocked, but a thousand times more intense.
From `ma-` (passive/ability prefix) + `takwil` (disown, renounce).
A very strong and formal word, often found in literature and dramatic contexts. The active form is 'itakwil'.
