EN: to straighten; to make direct
This is what you do to a bent paperclip, or what you wish you could do to your friend's life choices. It's also what a manager does when a conversation goes off-topic in a meeting: 'Okay team, let's tuwirin the discussion back to the agenda.' It's the act of correcting a path, literal or figurative.
Mula sa salitang 'tuwid' (straight) at hulaping '-in'.
Often used interchangeably with 'ituwid'. 'Tuwirin' is object-focused.
