EN: to tie up; to bind; to restrain
Before handcuffs, there was igapos. It's what villains in old Pinoy action movies do to the damsel in distress. But in a modern 'hugot' sense, 'igapos' is what you feel when you're stuck in a toxic relationship or a dead-end job. You feel tied up, unable to move freely. 'Nais kong kumawala sa mga problemang gumagapos sa akin.' Boom.
Implies a more forceful and complete binding than just 'itali'. Often used for restraining a person or animal.
