EN: the state of being consumed by fire
This is what happens when you forget the 'sinaing' on the stove. It's the ultimate end-game for anything flammable that meets fire. More dramatic than just 'pagkasunog'—this is being burnt to a crisp. 'Yan ang pagkatupok.
From 'pagka-' (state/manner of) + 'tupok' (consumed by fire).
ROOT MEANING: burnt to ashes; razed
Implies complete destruction by fire, more so than 'pagkasunog' (burning). Often used in literary or formal contexts.
