EN: to send someone on an errand
The classic 'pabili' culture in verb form. This is what your nanay does when she suddenly remembers she needs garlic in the middle of cooking adobo. You, the 'utusan', are the chosen one. It's the act of delegating a quick mission, usually to the youngest sibling, for which the reward is 'thank you' (if you're lucky).
magpa- (causative prefix) + sugo (envoy, messenger, errand)
ROOT MEANING: envoy, messenger, emissary
The subject of the verb is the one giving the order, not the one doing the errand.
