EN: adoption
This is when you legally (or sometimes, informally) take in a child, a pet, or even a friend's plant that they can't take care of anymore. It's like saying "I choose you!" but with more paperwork and lifelong commitment. Think of it as adding a new member to your team, but the team is your family.
From root `ampon` (to adopt). The `pag-` prefix and reduplication of the first vowel `a` create a noun meaning 'the act of...'.
ROOT MEANING: to adopt
Often used in legal, social, and familial contexts.
