EN: retracted, withdrew, moved back
Like when you're about to send that risky text, but then you get cold feet and delete it. That's "iniurong mo." Or when your boss announces a salary deduction, but due to massive backlash, they take it back. "Iniurong" is the past tense for pulling something back, whether it's a chair, a decision, or a lawsuit.
From "i-" (object-focus verb prefix) + "urong" (recede, move back), with past tense infix "-in-".
ROOT MEANING: retreat, withdrawal
Can refer to physical movement or the cancellation of a plan, statement, or action.
