EN: to make level; to equalize
This is the command you give when one side of the picture frame is higher than the other. Or when you're trying to divide the last piece of cake *perfectly* between you and your sibling to avoid World War III. In a more serious sense, it's the goal of social justice movements—to level the playing field.
From `pag-` + `pantay` (level, equal) + `-in` (object-focus verb suffix).
This is in the imperative/infinitive form.
