EN: a rush job; something done in a hurry
This is a "rush job." It's that project your client suddenly needs by EOD. It's the ulam you cook in 15 minutes because you forgot you had to bring food to the potluck. The result is often described as "pwede na 'yan" or "basta may maipasa." It's the noun form of something being subjected to `pag-aapura`.
From Spanish `apura` (to hurry). The `pag-a-` prefix and `-han` suffix turn the root into a noun denoting the thing or situation being rushed.
Refers to the object or context of the rushing, not the act itself.
🇵🇭 Halata sa gawa na ito ay isang pag-aapurahan lamang.
🇺🇸 It's obvious from the work that this was just a rush job.
🇵🇭 Naging pag-aapurahan ang paghahanda para sa biglaang bisita.
🇺🇸 The preparation for the unexpected visitor became a rushed affair.
