EN: hesitation; reluctance
That feeling when you're about to send a risky text and your thumb hovers over the 'send' button for five minutes. It's the "should I or shouldn't I?" moment, the internal debate before you finally decide to either go for it or 'seen-zone' the opportunity. Parang 'yung crush mo, puro pag-aatubili, hindi ka tuloy ma-chat.
From `pag-` (gerund prefix) + `a` (euphonic liaison) + reduplication of the first syllable of the root `atubili`.
