EN: to have someone catch; to make someone take the blame
Literally, it's when you toss your keys and yell "catch!" so you ask someone to **pasaluhin**. Figuratively, it's what your boss does when a project fails and they need a scapegoat. You're made to "catch" the blame. "Sino'ng may kasalanan?" "Siya po, pinasaluhan lang sa akin."
Has both a literal and a very common figurative meaning related to blame or responsibility. The context determines the meaning.
