EN: to point at someone simultaneously with others
This is the physical version of getting "called out" by the whole group chat. Imagine everyone in the room suddenly pointing their finger at you because you're the one who ate the last piece of pizza. "Sino umubos ng lechon?" *sabay duruan kay kuya*. It's a group point-out, a physical "J'accuse!" moment.
From `duro` (to point a finger) + `-an` (locative/benefactive suffix).
ROOT MEANING: poke with a finger
Often implies accusation or singling someone out by a group.
