EN: to treat with extreme contempt; to utterly debase
This is beyond simple bullying; it's treating someone like they're less than dirt. It's the level of contempt reserved for villains in teleseryes. Imagine the most intense "api-apihan" scene where the rich kontrabida is stepping on the protagonist's last family photo. That's the vibe. It's to degrade someone completely.
The reduplication of 'dusta' emphasizes the intensity and continuous nature of the contemptuous action.
