EN: flaring up; blazing
This is what happens when you pour gasoline on a fire, literally or figuratively. It's the sudden 'paglilingas' of the charcoal when you fan it for the barbecue. It's also the 'paglilingas' of your temper when your internet connection dies during a crucial online meeting. The sudden, intense burst of flames or feelings.
From `pag-` (gerund prefix) + reduplication of the first syllable `li-` + `lingas` (blaze, flame).
Can refer to a physical fire or a metaphorical one, like passion or anger.
