FIL: Ang kilos ng pagdurog o paglamas sa isang bagay sa pamamagitan ng matinding diin; o ang proseso ng paglabas ng isang sisiw o hayop mula sa itlog.
EN: crushing; squashing; hatching (from an egg)
This has two major vibes. First, it's what happens when a chick breaks out of its shell—hatching. Second, it's what you do to a cockroach with your tsinelas. It's the act of crushing something, whether it's garlic for your sinigang, a pimple (don't do it!), or your hopes and dreams when you see your electricity bill.
ROOT MEANING: crushed; flattened
The context (e.g., 'itlog' for egg, 'bawang' for garlic) is crucial to distinguish between 'hatching' and 'crushing'.
🇵🇭 Hinihintay namin ang pagpisa ng mga itlog ng manok.

🇵🇭 Ang pagpisa sa bawang ay nagpapalabas ng aroma nito.
