EN: got a share; received a cut (of profits)
This is what happens when you get your cut from the 'team building' budget that mysteriously had a surplus. Or when your friend sells something and gives you a commission. 'May na-close deal si beshie, may nahita ba tayo diyan pang-kape?' It has a slightly shady, under-the-table connotation.
From 'hita' (thigh), metaphorically getting a 'piece' or 'cut'.
ROOT MEANING: thigh
Colloquial and often used in the context of money, commissions, or gains from a venture, sometimes illicit.
