EN: to meander, to be winding
This is that Waze route that looks like a snake having a seizure. You know, the "shortcut" your friend insists on that takes you through every back alley and subdivision in Quezon City just to avoid 2 minutes of traffic on EDSA. The road itself is 'paliku-liko', and the driver who takes it 'nagpa-paliku-liko'.
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) and the reduplicated root `liko` (turn, curve).
Describes a non-linear path or movement, either literally for a road or figuratively for a convoluted explanation.
