EN: to be covered in cobwebs
When a place is so old and abandoned that it gets covered in cobwebs, it's been 'sinaputan'. It's what happens to your lola's old bodega or, let's be real, that corner of your room you haven't cleaned since 2022. Figuratively, your brain can feel 'sinaputan' when you haven't used it for a while.
ROOT MEANING: spiderweb, cobweb
Often used in its past tense form 'sinaputan' (was covered in cobwebs) or as a noun 'saputan' (a place full of cobwebs).
