EN: to grow fond of; to endear oneself to
Akala mo 'for fun' lang, 'friends lang' kayo, pero sa araw-araw na ka-chat at ka-late night call, ayun na, nahulog ka na. **Napamahal** ka na sa kanya. Pwede rin sa aspin (Asong Pinoy) na pinapakain mo lang sa labas ng gate, pero ngayon, sa loob na ng bahay niyo natutulog. You didn't expect to catch feelings, but you did.
ROOT MEANING: expensive, costly; dear, beloved
This verb is about the process of developing affection, not the state of being in love. Not to be confused with 'mapamahal' as in 'to become expensive'.
