EN: to allocate for, to set aside for, to dedicate to
This is you setting aside a portion of your salary for your 'ipon para sa concert' fund. It's dedicating your weekend to binge-watch a new series, or saving the last piece of chicken for your favorite sibling. It's the act of reserving something for a special purpose.
From `pag-` (infinitive prefix) + `laan` (allot) + `-an` (benefactive/locative suffix).
ROOT MEANING: reserved, allotted, intended for
A verb that requires an object (what is being allocated) and a beneficiary or purpose (who or what it's for).
