EN: to saw; to travel back and forth
This has two meanings. First, using a saw. Boring. The second one is the juicy one: it's what you call that friend who lives in Cavite but works in QC. They're constantly lumalagari on EDSA. It's the life of a commuter, a delivery rider, or someone in a long-distance relationship, always going back and forth like a human shuttle service.
From `lagari` (saw) + the infix `-um-`.
The second meaning of traveling back and forth is more common in modern colloquial speech to describe commuting or frequent travel between two points.
