EN: the act of tying up or binding
Think of an old action movie where the hero is tied to a chair. That's paggagapos. It's not just tying a ribbon on a gift; this has a more restrictive, often forceful, connotation. Metaphorically, it's how you feel about your student loans or your 'utang na loob'—you're bound by them.
`pag-` + reduplication of the first syllable of the root `ga-` + `gapos`. The reduplication indicates a more intense or deliberate action.
'Paggapos' (without the reduplication) is more common. 'Paggagapos' implies a more deliberate, possibly repeated, or intense act of binding.
