EN: to have someone move something forward; to have something be advanced
This is what you tell your friend who's hogging the space in the jeepney: "Pa-move forward naman dyan!" It's also what your boss does to a project deadline when they're feeling particularly cruel. The 'pa-' prefix makes it a causative verb, meaning you're causing someone else to do the advancing. You're the director, they're the actor.
From Tagalog `pa-` (causative prefix) + `abante` (from Spanish 'avante', meaning 'forward').
ROOT MEANING: forward
The object in focus is the thing being moved forward.
