EN: to send a telegram; to wire a message
Okay, boomer alert! Ito 'yung original version ng pag-send ng DM or PM. Before fiber internet, mayroong literal na 'kawad' (wire). You'd go to a telegraph office to **magpahatid-kawad** of a short message, usually for emergencies. It's the ancestor of your chat apps.
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) + `hatid` (to deliver) + `-` + `kawad` (wire).
This term is now largely historical and obsolete, referring to the technology of the telegraph.
