EN: to become murky, to become turbid
Imagine you're at the beach and someone runs past you, kicking up all the sand in the water. The water just lumabusaw. It's like `lumabo` but specifically for liquids that get stirred up with sediment. It's the state of your 'sinigang' broth right after you mash the gabi. It’s a more specific, almost poetic, way to say water got dirty.
From the root 'labusaw' (turbidity) with the infix '-um-'.
A less common synonym for 'lumabo' when referring to liquids becoming turbid due to suspended particles.
🇵🇭 Dahil sa malakas na ulan, lumabusaw ang dating malinaw na tubig sa sapa.
