EN: to be able to move or speak
This word lives in its negative form: 'hindi makakibo.' It's what happens when your crush suddenly talks to you, or when your mom finds out you failed a subject. You're frozen, speechless, shookt. You are physically and verbally unable to function. You can't even.
From `maka-` (ability prefix) + `kibo` (a slight movement or utterance).
ROOT MEANING: movement; action; remark
Almost exclusively used in the negative (`hindi makakibo`) to mean 'to be speechless' or 'to be frozen in place'.
