EN: to sweep (something) away
The more focused, 'get this thing out of my sight' version of sweeping. You're not just cleaning a place ('walisan'); you're targeting specific debris. 'Walisin mo yung mga bubog ng nakaraan' (Sweep away the broken pieces of the past). It’s about being decisive with what needs to go.
ROOT MEANING: broom
Focus is on the object being swept. Contrast with 'walisan' (to sweep a place).
