This is what you do when your friend is having an anxiety attack over a work deadline or a 'sana ol' moment. You tell them, 'Kalma lang,' and try to 'ipanatag' their loob (reassure their feelings). It's also what the police do to secure an area. It's the verb for bringing things from chaos to 'chill.'
From i- (causative prefix) + panatag (calm, secure, tranquil).
ROOT MEANING: calm; serene; at ease; secure
