FIL: Ang pag-ikid o pagbabalot nang paikot sa isang bagay, tulad ng ginagawa ng ahas o baging.
EN: to coil around; to entwine
That clingy jowa, that's `magpulupot`. Or a snake. Or your earphones in your pocket. Or that one tita at the party who wraps her arm around yours and won't let go until she's done with all the chismis. It's the act of wrapping around something so tightly it's hard to get out.
ROOT MEANING: coil; twist; act of coiling
Can be used literally for snakes or vines, or figuratively for overly clingy people.
