EN: to become stained all over
Imagine a toddler after a solo mission with a chocolate cake. That's `magkabahid-bahid`. It's not just one stain; it's a constellation of smudges. Your white shirt after eating sisig with a leaky fork, or your reputation after a 'Maritess' is done with you. It means to be covered in multiple stains or blemishes.
From 'magka-' (to get) + reduplicated 'bahid' (stain, smudge).
ROOT MEANING: trace, stain, smear
The reduplication 'bahid-bahid' implies that the stains are multiple and scattered, covering a surface unevenly.
