EN: to summarize; to monopolize; to engulf
This word is an overachiever with three personalities. 1) The student who lumagom (summarized) the entire book for a report. 2) The greedy business person who lumagom (monopolized) the whole market. 3) The dramatic cloud that lumagom (engulfed) the entire city. It's about taking it all in, whether it's information, profit, or physical space.
From `lagom` (summary, monopoly) + the infix `-um-`.
The 'summarize' meaning is common in academic contexts, while 'monopolize' or 'engulf' are also used. Context is key to understanding the intended meaning.
