EN: to give way; to make way
Literally, 'to give road.' On the street, it's what you do for an ambulance, or what that slow car in the fast lane *should* do. Figuratively, it’s about paving the way for something or someone else. An older CEO might retire to 'magbigay-daan' for new leadership. A crisis can 'magbigay-daan' for new opportunities. It's the verb for both traffic courtesy and major life changes.
Compound verb from `magbigay` (to give) + `daan` (way, path).
Has both a literal meaning (traffic) and a figurative one (opportunity, succession).
