EN: the act of placing on top; act of assigning a task
"Pag-atang" is what your boss does on a Friday at 4:59 PM—giving you a new "urgent" task. It's the act of piling on. It's also literally placing something on top of another, like when you "inatang" your bag on a chair. It’s the official word for "pasanin," but for tasks and responsibilities.
The `pag-` prefix nominalizes the action of the root `atang` (to place on top, to assign).
ROOT MEANING: assigned task; burden; offering
Has both a literal (physical placement) and figurative (assigning duties) meaning.
