EN: To apply, to fit closely, to administer
This is what you do with a Band-Aid on a cut, or foundation on your face to cover up the fact you only got 3 hours of sleep. It's about making things fit perfectly, whether it's a theory to a problem ('**ilapat** ang teorya') or first aid ('**ilapat** ang paunang lunas'). The goal is a perfect, seamless fit.
Can mean to physically apply something (like medicine), or to apply a concept or theory. Also used for administering first aid.
