EN: to have someone be shaved
This is the verb for when you're not doing the shaving yourself. For example, "Ipapahaircut ko na, tapos **paahitan** ko na rin 'yung balbas" (I'll get a haircut, and have my beard shaved too). It's what you do when you take your pet poodle to the groomer. You're not shaving the poodle, the groomer is. You just 'paahitan' it.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `ahit` (shave) + `-an` (locative/benefactive focus suffix).
The focus is on the person being shaved. `Paahitan mo si Juan` (Have Juan be shaved). Contrast with `Magpaahit ka` (You go and get a shave).
