EN: to be overcome by emotional weakness; to give in
This is the verb form of the 'hugot' adjective 'marupok'. It's the moment you actually give in. When you swore you wouldn't text your ex, but you did it anyway at 2 AM? 'Yan, **narupukan** ka. It’s the act of failing your 'don't be marupok' challenge.
From ma- (verb prefix) + rupok (fragility) + -an (locative/experiential suffix).
ROOT MEANING: fragile, brittle, weak
Almost exclusively used in modern, informal, and 'hugot' contexts related to love and relationships.
