EN: to soothe; to alleviate; to calm
This is what a good massage does to your stress, what Vicks VapoRub does to your cough, or what a friend's comforting words do to your "sakit ng loob" (heartache). It's the act of making a bad situation less intense. "Uminom ka ng tsaa para **patighawin** ang sakit ng lalamunan mo."
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `tighaw` (abatement, subsidence) + `-in` (object-focus suffix). The root 'tighaw' is rarely used on its own.
Often used for pain, suffering, anger, or thirst. It implies reducing the intensity of something unpleasant.
