EN: to retract, to withdraw
That awkward moment when you say something then immediately wish you could un-say it. It's the verbal equivalent of hitting 'undo'. Also applies to promises ('urong-sulong' means indecisive) or when a turtle pulls its head back into its shell. 'Bigla siyang nag-urong sa kasunduan.'
ROOT MEANING: retreat, withdrawal
