EN: state of being captured; captivity
That feeling when you get "captured" by a new K-drama series and can't do anything else for a week. Or when you're held hostage by your "marites" tita who wants all the latest chismis. It's being trapped, whether by enemy forces or by a really good story.
From `pag-` + `ka-` + `ka-` (reduplication) + `bihag`. The prefix `pagkaka-` denotes the state or condition of being something.
