EN: to spend on; to finance
This is the verb form of "gastos." It's what you do when your friend says "Libre mo naman ako!" and you actually do it. You're the one who will "pagastusan" the whole barkada's milk tea craving. It's the financial equivalent of being the designated martyr.
From Spanish "gastos" (expenses). The affixes `pa-` and `-an` turn it into a verb meaning 'to have someone spend on something' or 'to finance something'.
Often used in contexts of budgeting, family expenses, or treating someone.
