/mag-pa-BU-not/
FIL: Pahintulutan o maging dahilan upang alisin, hugutin, o bunutin ang isang bagay mula sa kinalalagyan nito, tulad ng ngipin, halaman, o pangalan sa isang palabunutan.
EN: to have something pulled out; to have something drawn (raffle)
Two main scenarios: 1) The dreaded trip to the dentist. 'Kailangan ko nang magpabunot ng wisdom tooth, besh.' 2) The hopeful moment in a Christmas party raffle. 'Sana ako na ang susunod na mabunot!' In both cases, you're having something pulled for you.
From 'mag-' (verb prefix) + 'pa-' (causative prefix) + 'bunot' (to pull out). Literally 'to cause to be pulled out'.
ROOT MEANING: to pull out; to draw (lots)
Context is key to distinguish between extraction (tooth, weed) and a raffle draw.
