EN: to align properly, to correct, to make right
The verb for perfectionists and editors. You 'itumpak' the alignment of a picture on the wall. You 'itumpak' the numbers in a spreadsheet. A writer will 'itumpak' the grammar in their article. It’s about fixing something that's slightly off and making it perfectly correct and aligned. It's the satisfaction of getting things *just right*.
ROOT MEANING: correct; accurate; right
Implies a correction or adjustment to achieve a state of being 'correct' or 'properly placed'. It's a finer adjustment than the more general 'ayusin' (to fix/arrange).
