EN: retreat; the act of moving back
That moment you see your ex with their new partner at the mall and you do a 180-degree turn. That's "pag-atras." It's backing out of a deal, a fight, or a really awkward conversation. In traffic, it's what you wish the car in front of you would do.
From Spanish "atrás" (back, behind). The prefix `pag-` nominalizes the action.
Can be used literally for physical movement or figuratively for backing down from a decision or commitment.
