EN: the occurrence of a miracle; act of performing a miracle
When you somehow pass your exam even though you only studied the night before. Or when you find a parking spot at the mall on a December weekend. It's that 'divine intervention' feeling, the plot twist you didn't see coming but desperately needed.
From 'pag-' (gerund prefix) + 'hi-' (intensive prefix) + 'himala' (miracle).
ROOT MEANING: miracle
'Paghihimala' is the action/process, while 'himala' is the event itself.
