EN: to form; to take the shape of
This is the verb for glow-ups and transformations. It's what clay does in a potter's hands, what a caterpillar does inside a chrysalis, and what your body does when you finally stick to your new year's resolution of going to the gym. It's the process of becoming, of taking on a new form, like your savings account that 'maghugis' negative balance after a 12.12 sale.
Often used with an object or a description of the new shape, for instance, 'maghugis-puso' (to take the shape of a heart). The phrase 'maghugis nang panibago' means 'to be reshaped' or 'to take a new form'.
