EN: to have someone open (something)
When your hands are full of groceries and you yell to anyone inside the house, "**Pabuksan** ng pinto!" It's the universal command for when you can't open something yourself. The official verb of 'pakisuyo'.
From the causative prefix `pa-` + `bukas` (open) + the object-focus suffix `-an`.
ROOT MEANING: open
This is the general term for asking someone to open something. Contrast with 'pabuklat', which is specifically for books or things with pages.
