EN: the act of calming someone down; appeasement
This is what you do when your friend is having a breakdown over a failed exam or a breakup. It's the 'Hinga, beshie' moment. It involves a lot of listening, patting on the back, and maybe offering milk tea or sisig. It's the art of de-escalation, turning a fiery 'Gigil mo si ako!' into a calmer 'Hay, nako.'
From pag- (gerund prefix) + pa- (causative prefix) + -pa- (reduplication of first syllable of the root) + hinahon (calmness).
