EN: act of scrambling or working hastily
This is you, 15 minutes before the deadline, frantically typing to finish your report. It's the mad dash to grab the last piece of crispy pata at a fiesta. It's the hustle of a vendor in Divisoria trying to make a sale. Pagkukumamot is the art of desperate, hands-on scrambling to get things done. It's pure, unadulterated "diskarte".
From `pag-` + `-ku-` + `kamot`. The root `kamot` means "to scratch," implying a scratching/clawing effort.
ROOT MEANING: scratch (from an itch)
Implies a sense of urgency, difficulty, or even desperation.
