EN: to cause to wither; to let dry up
This is a more intense version of 'patuyuin'. It's what happens to your houseplant when you forget about it for two weeks. It's also what your crush does to your hopes and dreams when they leave you on 'seen'. It implies a slow, complete drying out, often leading to decay or death.
From the causative prefix "pa-", the root word "tuyot" (withered, completely dry), and the object-focus suffix "-in".
While 'patuyuin' is for general drying of wet things, 'patuyutin' implies causing something (usually organic or a body of water) to wither or dry out completely due to neglect or natural forces.
🇵🇭 Huwag mong patuyutin ang mga halaman sa hardin.
