EN: to lend; to allow to borrow
This is what you do when your friend is short on cash before payday. "Pahiram muna, bes, bayaran ko sa 15th!" It's the foundation of many friendships and the cause of many "seen-zoned" messages when it's time to pay up. It's basically a trust fall with your money or belongings.
From mag- (actor-focus verb prefix) + pa- (causative prefix) + hiram (borrow).
ROOT MEANING: borrowed
`Magpahiram` is when the owner allows someone to borrow. `Humiram` is when someone borrows. The focus is on the lender.
