EN: to be pickpocketed
The official verb for that 'OMG, asan na wallet ko?!' moment after riding the MRT during rush hour. It's the passive experience of being victimized by a 'mandurukot.' Your pocket/bag is the crime scene, and you're the unsuspecting victim.
From `ma-` (potential passive prefix) + `dukot` (to snatch) + `-an` (locative/benefactive suffix).
This is in the potential aspect, meaning 'to be able to be pickpocketed' or 'to happen to be pickpocketed.'
