FIL: Ang kalagayan ng pagkatanggal o pagkapunit ng isang bagay, tulad ng balat o papel, nang biglaan at may puwersa.
EN: state of being torn/peeled off forcefully
Think of ripping off a band-aid really, REALLY fast. Ouch! Or when you try to peel a price tag off a book and half of the cover art comes with it. That's 'pagkalabnit'. It’s a violent, sudden peel, not a gentle one. The kind that makes you say "Aray!" or "Ay, sira!".
From pagka- (state of) + labnit (to tear or peel off forcefully).
ROOT MEANING: a forcible tear or rip; detachment
Often implies a small, forceful tear, distinct from a large rip (punit) or a burn-related peeling (labnos).
