EN: the way something is opened; state of being open
This is how you find the bag of chips after your younger sibling got to it first—ripped open from the side instead of the top. It's also the state of your browser with 50 tabs open, or your heart after watching a touching dog rescue video.
From `pag-` + `ka-` + `ka-` (reduplication) + `bukas`. The prefix `pagkaka-` indicates the manner or state.
ROOT MEANING: open
Describes the state or manner of being open. Can imply a state that is surprising or unintentional.
