EN: to have someone breastfeed (a baby)
This is a very direct, and often gentle, term. It's what a lola might say to a new mom: "Naku, iyak na nang iyak ang bata, *pasusuhin* mo na." (Oh, the baby is crying so much, let him/her breastfeed now.) It's all about nurturing and care, a fundamental part of motherhood.
From `pa-` (causative) + `suso` (breast; to suckle) + `-hin` (object-focus suffix), with reduplication of the root's first syllable.
ROOT MEANING: breast
The word `suso` can mean "breast" or "to suckle". `Pasusuhin` is the causative form, meaning "to cause to suckle".
