EN: to appoint; to choose; to select
The action of making someone 'The One.' This is what the President does to his cabinet, or what a pageant committee does to the new Miss Universe. It's the verb form of making a 'hirang.' Hindi ito basta 'pumili,' may weight, may formality, may press release. When you 'hirangin' someone, you're basically saying, 'Out of all the choices, it's you.'
Mula sa "hirang" + "-in".
ROOT MEANING: appointed; chosen one; beloved
A formal verb. "Piliin" is the more common, everyday equivalent.
