EN: to be marked with spots; to be speckled
This is the 'action' version. It's what happens when you accidentally splash coffee on your white shirt. 'Ayan, na-batik-batikan na!' It can also mean to intentionally put spots on something. Basically, the 'how' or 'why' behind the 'batik-batik' state.
From 'batik' (spot) + '-an' suffix.
The '-an' suffix here indicates that the object is the recipient of the spots or marks.
