EN: to make something deviate; to make something indirect
This is what you do when you're trying to avoid a direct question from your crush about your feelings. You change the topic, give a vague answer, or just make the conversation go somewhere else. 'Anong ginagawa mo para palihisin ang usapan? Bigla kang nagtanong kung kumain na ba sila.' It's the art of the subtle dodge.
From 'pa-' (causative prefix) + 'lihis' (deviated, not straight) + '-in' (object focus suffix).
Often used in the context of conversations, paths, or actions that are being made to stray from the direct or intended course.
