EN: to release; to let go; to set free
The ultimate 'Let It Go' verb. Whether you're releasing your ex's stuff (finally!), freeing a bird from a cage, or just letting out a huge sigh after a toxic Zoom meeting, you're magpakawala. It's the act of unclenching your fist, literally or metaphorically.
From magpa- (causative) + kawala (state of being free/loose).
ROOT MEANING: none; nothing; absent
Can be used for physical release (e.g., prisoners, animals) or emotional/abstract release (e.g., feelings, a sigh).
