EN: to trace, to imprint
Like using tracing paper in grade school. It’s also used figuratively for seeing a resemblance. 'Naman, **ibakas** mo sa mukha niya ang tatay niya.' It's about seeing the original outline or a clear sign of something in another. The evidence is right there, clear as a footprint or a parent's face on their kid.
From the prefix 'i-' (causative verb marker) and 'bakas' (trace, mark, footprint).
Can be literal, like tracing a drawing, or figurative, like seeing a parent's features in a child's face ('bakas sa mukha').
