EN: to be able to pull out; to be able to draw out
That feeling of triumph when you finally pull a very tight pair of shoes off your foot after a long day. Or when you manage to get cash from an ATM that's "offline." Figuratively, this is the origin of "hugot" culture – "mahugot ang feelings" means to be able to draw out deep-seated emotions, usually about love and heartbreak. You're pulling something from deep inside.
ROOT MEANING: to pull out; to draw out
Can be literal (pulling a physical object) or figurative (drawing out emotions, ideas, or information).
