FIL: Ang pagdudulot ng dumi o pagiging marungis sa isang tao, bagay, o lugar.
EN: to make dirty; to get grimy
This is what kids do best after you've just given them a bath. They go outside and play in the mud, effectively 'magparungis'-ing themselves. It’s the act of making something clean into something dirty. 'Huwag kang magparungis ng damit mo, kadarating lang natin sa party!' (Don't get your clothes dirty, we just arrived at the party!).
From magpa- (causative prefix) + rungis (a variant of 'dungis', meaning 'grime' or 'smudge').
ROOT MEANING: a smudge on the face; grime
The 'magpa-' prefix makes this a causative verb, meaning 'to cause to become 'marungis' (dirty/grimy).'
