Usage Note
Wastuin is the object-focus form of wasto, placing the thing being corrected as the grammatical focus. The root-final o shifts to u before the -in suffix, a regular phonological pattern in Tagalog morphology, and the form is found in editing, teaching, and quality-control contexts where a specific error — a spelling, a figure, a policy — is the thing under repair.
