This is a grammar nerd's word. It's the label you put on words that add flavor and drama—the 'chismis' of a sentence. Words like 'maganda', 'pogi', 'nakakainis'—they're all doing a 'makauri' job. It's the category for all your descriptive ammo.
From `maka-` (having the nature of) + `uri` (kind, type, class). In grammar, 'pang-uri' is the word for adjective.
Primarily used in linguistics and Filipino grammar classes. Not used in everyday conversation.
