EN: to initial; to put one's initials on
This is what your boss asks you to do on a mountain of paperwork at 4:59 PM on a Friday. 'Painisyalan mo lahat 'yan.' It's the corporate version of marking your territory, but on memos and expense reports instead of trees.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `inisyal` (initial) + `-an` (locative/object-focus suffix). `Inisyal` is from Spanish 'inicial'.
ROOT MEANING: initial
The verb is in the imperative/infinitive form. Other forms include `pinainisyalan` (past), `pinapainisyalan` (present), `papainisyalan` (future).
