/ma-lag-KIT/
FIL: May katangiang dumikit o kumapit nang mahigpit sa mga bagay na madadaanan o mahahawakan.
EN: sticky; glutinous
That feeling on your hands after eating biko or mango with bagoong. That's **malagkit**. Or the floor after a kid spills juice. It also describes a type of rice used for kakanin (glutinous rice). Figuratively, it can be a 'malagkit na tingin'—a sticky or intense stare that makes you feel... well, stuck.
From the root 'lagkit,' meaning stickiness or viscosity. The prefix 'ma-' turns it into an adjective.
ROOT MEANING: Stickiness; viscosity
Can be used literally for texture or figuratively for stares or situations. 'Kanin malagkit' refers to glutinous rice.
