FIL: Ang paglalagay ng mga palamuti o dekorasyon upang pagandahin ang isang lugar, bagay, o tao.
EN: to decorate; to adorn
This is what Pinoys do best during '-ber' months. We 'magpalamuti' the whole house with Christmas lights and parols. It's also what you do to a cake with icing and sprinkles, or what you do to your room to make it 'aesthetic.' It's the act of adding flair and making something look festive or pretty.
From 'mag-' (actor-focus prefix) + 'palamuti' (decoration). The 'pa-' is part of the root word itself.
ROOT MEANING: decoration, ornament, garnish
The root word 'palamuti' itself means decoration. The verb form is the action of putting up decorations.
