EN: to nail; to affix with a nail
The OG "nailed it," but literally. It's what you do to that calendar you bought from the suking tindahan or that 'Live, Laugh, Love' sign you got for your room. It's also used figuratively, like when you're stuck on one thought ('ipako ang pag-iisip') or when someone is being crucified ('ipako sa krus').
From `i-` (object-focus prefix) + `pako` (nail).
ROOT MEANING: nail (fastener)
