EN: silencing; pacification
This can be as innocent as a librarian shushing a noisy group, or as sinister as a movie villain 'silencing' a witness. It's the act of making someone or something quiet. It's what you try to do to your barking dog at 3 AM or to your chismosa tita who's about to spill the tea at a family reunion.
From pag- (nominalizer) + pa- (causative prefix) + tahimik (quiet, silent).
Can have a neutral meaning (to quiet down) or a negative, threatening connotation (to silence permanently).
