EN: acceleration; the act of speeding up
This is what you do when the traffic light turns green and the driver behind you honks after 0.5 seconds. It's stepping on the gas. It's also what your project manager asks for when the deadline is near: "Kailangan nating bilisan!" That's pagpapatulin of the workflow. Or when you chug your coffee for that instant energy boost.
From pag- (nominalizer) + pa- (causative) + tulin (speed).
ROOT MEANING: speed; velocity; swiftness
Can be used literally for vehicles or metaphorically for processes.
