EN: to have something moved back; to cause to retreat
When you're directing a car backing into a tight parking spot, you shout "Urong! Urong pa!". The driver is the one who 'umuurong', but you are the one who tells them to 'magpaurong'. It can also be used for plans: "Huwag kang magpaurong sa pangarap mo dahil lang sa sinabi niya." (Don't let them make you back down from your dream).
From 'magpa-' (causative prefix) + 'urong' (retreat, move back).
ROOT MEANING: retreat, withdrawal
Can be literal (moving an object) or figurative (changing a decision).
