EN: being forced; coercion
That feeling when your boss 'volunteers' you for overtime on a Friday night. It's not *really* a choice, is it? You're doing it, but under duress. Yan ang pagkapuwersa. Parang napilitan ka lang.
From Spanish 'fuerza' (force).
The prefix 'pagka-' here denotes the state or manner of something happening, often involuntarily or suddenly.
