EN: to become weak, to be debilitated by something
This verb is what happens *to you* to cause the state of 'panghihina'. "Pinanghinain ako ng lagnat" means "The fever made me weak." It's the active process of something draining your battery. Think of it as the attack that inflicts the "weakness" status effect on you in a role-playing game.
From pang- (causative prefix) + hina (weak) + -in (object-focus suffix).
This verb is often used in the passive voice (e.g., 'pinanghinain') to describe what caused the weakness. It's less common than the noun 'panghihina' or the verb 'manghina'.
