EN: act of shooing away; driving away
This is what you do to a fly that won't leave your halo-halo alone, or to that persistent suitor your parents don't like. It's the act of shooing something or someone away, with hand gestures, loud noises, or just a very pointed 'Umalis ka nga!' stare.
From pag- (gerund prefix) + bugaw (shoo, drive away).
Be cautious as 'bugaw' can also refer to a pimp, although the context usually makes the meaning clear. 'Pagbugaw' specifically refers to the action of shooing.
