EN: to straighten; to go straight; to reform
Can refer to literally straightening your back ("Tumuwid ka ng upo!") or a road that goes straight. But the more powerful meaning is about people. It's when someone who was a "pasaway" finally gets their act together. They "walk the straight path" or "nagtino." It's the character development arc we love to see in teleseryes.
Past/Completed aspect of the verb. Can be physical or metaphorical.
