EN: to waylay, to ambush, to wait for
This is the OG 'seen-zone' sa real life. You're waiting for someone, maybe your Grab, your suweldo, or that friend who's always 'on the way.' Pwede ring pang-ambush, like when you wait for your jowa outside their office with a surprise... or a confrontation. It's the verb form of waiting with intent.
Often implies waiting with a specific purpose, which can be either positive (a surprise) or negative (an ambush).
