EN: Disownment, renunciation, repudiation
This is the "You are no longer my child!" scene in every Filipino family drama. It's when you're officially removed from the family group chat and the will. It's the act of hitting 'unfriend' and 'block' on a family member, but in real life and with much more drama.
From "pag-" (verbal noun prefix) + "takwil" (to disown).
Stronger than a simple disagreement; implies a complete and often permanent severing of ties.
