EN: slander
The verbal version of "sira." This is what happens when a chismosa goes pro. It's not just gossiping; it's actively trying to ruin someone's reputation, career, or relationships with lies. Think of it as character assassination, Marites-style. It can also mean literally destroying something, like when your little sibling breaks your favorite toy.
From pan- + sira, with reduplication of the first syllable of the root word.
ROOT MEANING: to break; to damage; to destroy
Can refer to physical destruction ('act of destroying') or reputational damage ('slander'). The context clarifies which. Often combined with 'puri' (honor) to mean 'slander'.
