EN: to dazzle; to blind with light
The action of causing 'silaw'. This is what that inconsiderate driver is doing to you. It's also what a con artist does with fancy words and promises, or what your friend does when they flash their new iPhone 25 Pro Max in your face.
From 'silaw' + '-in' suffix.
ROOT MEANING: glare; dazzle
The object of the verb is the one being dazzled. The verb 'masilaw' (to be dazzled) is also very common.
