EN: to cause to stagger; to make someone wobble
Imagine you're in a packed MRT and it suddenly brakes. That feeling of almost falling over? You were *pinasuray*. It's also what happens after one too many shots of tequila. Your walk becomes a "dance" – you're being *pinapasuray* by the alcohol.
From `pa-` (causative) + `suray` (stagger, wobble) + `-in` (object-focus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: stagger, wobble
The root word `suray` is not very common on its own, but `pasurayin` or `sumuray` are understood.
