FIL: Ang pagiging sanhi ng pagbagal ng kilos, galaw, o proseso ng isang tao o bagay.
EN: to cause to slow down
This is the effect of that one person in your group project who doesn't do their part, forcing everyone else to slow down. Or the ancient office computer that takes 10 minutes to open a file. Anything that acts as a bottleneck or a drag is nagpapabagal. Even your "marupok" heart going back to your ex can magpabagal your moving-on process.
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) + `bagal` (slowness).
ROOT MEANING: slow
The subject of the verb is the one causing the slowness.
