EN: to catch with a net
Literally, to fish with a net. But in modern hugot culture, 'manlambat' is what you do when you're trying to catch feelings, a potential jowa, or clients. You cast a wide net (a charming smile, a witty post, a good sales pitch) and hope you catch something good, not just a 'seen-zone'.
Mula sa unlaping 'mang-' at ang salitang-ugat na 'lambat' (net). Nagaganap ang asimilasyon kung saan ang 'ng' ay nagiging 'n' at idinurugtong sa salitang nagsisimula sa 'l'.
