EN: to appease, to console
This is the act of damage control. When you forget your anniversary, you need to 'magpalubag-loob' with flowers and a fancy dinner. When your friend is having a 'hugot' moment, you 'magpalubag-loob' with milk tea and a listening ear. It's about calming a storm, whether it's anger, sadness, or disappointment. It's the verbal or physical equivalent of patting someone's back and saying, "There, there."
From `magpa-` (causative prefix) and the compound word `lubag-loob` (calmness of inner self), from `lubag` (to subside) and `loob` (inner self, will).
A causative verb aimed at changing someone's negative emotional state to a more positive or neutral one.
