EN: is able to teach; is able to point
This word has two personalities, like a Grab driver who's also a life coach. First, it's about being able to teach (e.g., your lola who can teach you secret recipes). Second, it's about being able to point at something (e.g., Waze, which is able to point you to the nearest milk tea shop).
From nakapag- (ability) + duplicated first syllable of root tu- + turo (teach/point). Present/imperfective 'can' form.
ROOT MEANING: to teach; to point
The meaning depends entirely on context: 'teach' for knowledge, 'point' for direction or location.
