EN: supplication; pleading
This is a level-up from 'pakiusap'. This is the 'last-two-minutes' full-court press of asking for something. Imagine begging your prof to pass you, not just with words, but with your whole being. It's the 'I'm begging you' energy when you're trying to borrow money from a friend for the nth time.
From `pag-` (nominalizer) + `luhog` (to plead, supplicate).
ROOT MEANING: plea, supplication, earnest request
A formal and deep word, often found in literature or religious contexts.
🇵🇭 Sa kanyang pagluhog, nakuha niya ang kapatawaran ng hari.
🇺🇸 Through his supplication, he obtained the king's forgiveness.
