EN: to be able to curse; to unintentionally curse
That moment when you stub your toe on the leg of the table and a bad word just flies out of your mouth. Or when you see your ex's new post and you just can't help it. 'Napakamura ako nang makita ko ang presyo ng bilihin.'
From 'maka-' (ability/involuntary action prefix) + 'mura' (curse word).
ROOT MEANING: to scold; to curse
Often used with 'napa-' (napakamura) to emphasize the involuntary nature of the action. Distinguish from 'magmura' which is intentional cursing.
