EN: to grow wings
This is what happens when you drink too much Red Bull. Kidding aside, it means "to grow wings." You'd use this for birds getting their flight feathers or in fantasy stories. It's the ultimate glow-up for a caterpillar or a 'diwata' leveling up.
From 'magka-' (to have or to grow) + 'bagwis' (wing, especially a large flight feather).
Often used in a literary, poetic, or mythological context. 'Magkapakpak' is a more common synonym.
