EN: to lose something unintentionally; to misplace; to get rid of (from mind)
That feeling when you check your pocket and your phone is gone. You've just naiwaglit it. It's more than just 'nawala' (lost); it has a nuance of carelessness or of something slipping away. Also used for feelings: "Sana'y ma-iwaglit ko na siya sa isip ko." (I hope I can get him out of my mind.) — a classic hugot line.
i- (verb prefix) + waglit (lost, misplaced)
Often used for misplacing small items or for trying to forget memories or feelings.
