EN: to be overturned; to be defeated (unexpectedly)
Literally, this is what happens to a boat in a storm. Figuratively, it’s the ultimate underdog story. It's when the "dehado" (underdog) team beats the defending champion in a basketball game. "Akala nila sigurado na ang panalo, pero napatáob sila ng baguhang team!" It’s the David vs. Goliath verb.
ma- (unintentional/ability prefix) + pa- (causative prefix) + taob (overturned, upside down)
Used for both literal capsizing and figurative upsets in competitions.
