EN: to shoulder; to take upon oneself (a responsibility)
This is what you do when your boss suddenly dumps a new project on you at 5 PM on a Friday. You just have to "shoulder" the responsibility. It's the adulting version of carrying your team in Mobile Legends. You take the burden, for better or for worse. 'Sige, ako na ang bahala,' ang sigaw ng pusong inibalikat ang lahat.
From `i-` (causative/benefactive prefix) + `balikat` (shoulder). Literally "to put on the shoulder".
ROOT MEANING: shoulder
Often used figuratively to mean taking on a heavy responsibility, not just literally carrying something on one's shoulders.
