FIL: Ang paglalagay o pagsasama ng isang bagay sa loob o kasama ng isa pa, karaniwan sa isang sulat o pakete.
EN: to attach; to enclose; to include
This is the formal, 'action-star' version of adding an attachment to an email. Before 'Attach File', there was 'lakipan'. You **lakipan** your application with a resume, or you **lakipan** a love letter with pressed flowers. It’s adding something essential to the main thing.
ROOT MEANING: attached, enclosed; an attachment
The imperative form 'lakipan' commands someone to attach something *to* a specific object. For example, 'Lakipan mo ng pera ang sulat' (Enclose money *in* the letter). The focus is on the container. Contrast with 'ilakip', which focuses on the item being attached.
