EN: to have someone pack something
The ultimate "tamad" or "boss mode" command. When you have too much stuff from shopping or you're too tired to pack your own lunch, you tell someone, "Ipaempake mo na lang 'yan." It's the verbal equivalent of pointing at things and having them magically get ready to go. Common sa mga restaurant for take-out.
i- (causative prefix) + pa- (request/command prefix) + from Spanish 'empaque' (packing)
ROOT MEANING: to pack; the act of packing
A colloquial and very common word, derived from Spanish 'empaque'. The formal Filipino term would be 'ipabalot' or 'ipasilid'.
