EN: to become paralyzed; to be crippled
A serious term for when someone loses the ability to move parts of their body. It's the medical condition your lola warns you about when you sit on a hot surface and then immediately splash yourself with cold water ("mapapasma ka!"). In a figurative sense, it can mean being crippled by fear or indecision, like when you're so anxious you can't even get out of bed. "Nalumpo ako sa takot."
From Tagalog `lumpo` (paralyzed, cripple).
Can be used literally for a medical condition or figuratively for being immobilized by an emotion.
