EN: to use a container to catch something
When there's a leak in the ceiling and you put a "balde" (pail) under it, you are "isinahod mo ang balde." It's the act of positioning a container to catch something, like catching rainwater or your own tears after watching a sad K-drama.
ROOT MEANING: to catch (falling liquid); to collect
The root "sahod" also means salary, but this verb form is completely unrelated and refers to catching/collecting. The context makes the meaning clear.
