EN: to be under the jurisdiction of; to be conquered
Think of it as your barangay suddenly being part of the next barangay's territory for the basketball league. Or when your team at work gets absorbed by another, more powerful team. On a larger scale, it's what happened to the Philippines for 333 years under Spain. It's about being under someone else's rule or scope.
From `ma-` (potential verb prefix) + `sakop` ("jurisdiction, to conquer") + `-an` (locative suffix).
Commonly used in historical and political contexts, but also in organizational or legal settings to define scope.
