Usage Note
Maghasik is the actor-focus mag- infinitive of hasik, rooted in agricultural seed-sowing but heavily extended into figurative use. Maghasik ng pag-asa, maghasik ng takot, and maghasik ng kaguluhan are all common collocations for spreading an abstract quality across a community or space; the object-focus partner is ihasik.
