EN: the act of swooping down; a sudden attack
This is what a hawk does to a poor, unsuspecting sisiw. It's also what you do to the last piece of lechon at a fiesta. A sudden, swift, and decisive attack. In the office, it's that coworker who swoops in to take credit for your idea.
A very descriptive and somewhat archaic word. Often used in literary or formal contexts.
