EN: to relieve; to soothe; to make comfortable
That feeling when you finally take off your tight shoes after a long day. That's "pagpapaginhawa." This verb is the act of causing that feeling. It's what a cold drink does on a hot day, what a good massage does for a tired body, or what paying off your credit card debt does for your soul. It's the ultimate 'ahhhh' feeling, but in verb form.
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) + `ginhawa` (comfort, relief).
A very common word related to comfort, relief from stress, pain, or hardship.
