That feeling when your earphones get caught on a doorknob and get yanked out of your ears? That's `masabit`. It's also what happens to your friend who gets dragged into your mess just by being there. 'Huwag kang didikit sa akin, baka **masabit** ka sa utang ko.' (Don't stick with me, you might get **implicated** in my debts.)
From `ma-` (involuntary action prefix) + `sabit` (to hang, to get caught).
ROOT MEANING: Hanging; snagged; caught on
Can be physical (snagging clothes) or figurative (being implicated in a problem).
