EN: to trample upon, to desecrate
This is more than just stepping on something. It's stepping on it with feeling—with disrespect and intent to destroy. Literally, it's what you do to grapes to make wine. Figuratively, it's what happens to your dignity when someone spreads fake chismis about you. It's a total violation. 'Huwag mong hayaang **yurakan** nila ang iyong pagkatao!' is the ultimate hugot line for self-respect.
From 'yurak' (to trample) with the suffix '-an'.
A very strong word. Often used figuratively to mean disrespecting one's honor, rights, or dignity.
