EN: to shout or scream involuntarily
This is your reaction when you see a cockroach fly. Or when you check your bank account after payday. Or when your K-pop bias winks at the camera. It’s that scream you can’t hold back. "Nung nakita ko yung presyo ng bilihin, napasigaw na lang ako sa palengke."
ma- (unintentional action prefix) + pa- (causative prefix, here intensifying) + sigaw (shout)
ROOT MEANING: shout
The 'mapa-' prefix highlights the involuntary nature of the shout.
