EN: to prepare; to get ready; to adorn
This is you getting ready for a big date or a party. It's more than just 'magbihis' (to get dressed). It involves the whole production: shower, makeup, choosing the perfect OOTD, doing your hair. You're not just getting ready, you're adorning yourself. 'Maggayak ka na, aalis na tayo!' is what your mom shouts when you've been in your room for an hour.
Often implies dressing up or preparing for a special event, more elaborate than simple preparation.
