EN: the act of making someone surrender
This is what happens after a long siege in a video game, a tough negotiation, or a classic 'sermon' from your nanay. It's the act of *making* someone give up. It could be the police negotiating a surrender, or you finally convincing your friend to stop arguing and just admit you were right all along.
From pag- (nominalizer) + pa- (causative prefix) + suko (surrender).
ROOT MEANING: surrender
Distinct from 'pagsuko' (the act of surrendering oneself). 'Pagpapasuko' is causing another to surrender.
