EN: to have oneself imprisoned again
This sounds like a plot from a movie. It's when someone, for whatever reason (maybe to protect someone, or because life is harder outside), intentionally gets themselves arrested again. It’s the ultimate "I'm going back in" move. Not your everyday verb, unless you're writing a crime thriller script.
From `mag-` + `pa-` + `bilanggo` (prisoner) + `muli` (again).
ROOT MEANING: prisoner; imprisoned
A very specific and dramatic action. The word 'muli' (again) is integral to its meaning.
🇵🇭 Sa nobela, nagpabilanggong muli ang bida upang isakatuparan ang kanyang paghihiganti sa loob ng kulungan.
