EN: running amok, frenzy, berserk rage
This is what happens when your internet dies mid-finals, your food delivery gets cancelled, and you spill coffee on your white shirt all in the same hour. It's the ultimate 'amok' mode, a word so rare you only use it for a rage so epic it deserves its own mythological term.
From `pag-` + `hunusdili` + `-an`. An archaic and literary form. The root's origin is obscure.
This is a very deep and literary word, almost never used in casual conversation. It's the Filipino equivalent of "going postal" but with a more ancient, primal feel.
