FIL: Ang akto ng pagpapatalsik o pagbato ng isang bagay sa malayo gamit ang lakas ng braso.
EN: throwing; hurling
This is the act of yeeting something. Whether it's a basketball player's three-point shot, a frustrated person throwing their phone (don't do it!), or tossing garbage into the bin from across the room. It’s the act of making something fly through the air with force.
From "pag-" + reduplication of the first syllable of the root "ha-" + "hagis". The reduplication suggests a more deliberate or repeated action compared to a simple "paghagis".
ROOT MEANING: throw; toss; hurl
