EN: to make charcoal; to sell charcoal
Before gas stoves and induction cookers, this was a legit hustle. It's the OG way to prep for a barbecue party. You're either the one burning wood to create the charcoal (the producer) or the one selling it by the plastic bag in the palengke (the dealer).
From `mag-` (actor-focus verb prefix) + `uling` (charcoal).
ROOT MEANING: charcoal
The meaning (to make vs. to sell) is usually clear from the context. "Mag-uling ka na para sa ihawan" means "Make charcoal for the grill". "Nag-uuling siya sa probinsya" could mean his livelihood is making/selling charcoal.
