EN: to use as a basis; to rely on
This is when you use your friend's 'pasalubong' promise as the main reason you're excited for them to come home. You are relying on that box of goodies. In arguments, this is your 'source?' moment. You're asking 'What are you basing this on?' or you're declaring what you're using as your foundation. 'Eto ang pinagsasaligan ko ng aking hugot.'
From `pag-` + `salig` (base) + `-an` (locative verb suffix).
ROOT MEANING: based on, founded on
A locative verb. The object is what is being used as the basis. It is often used in the form 'pagbatayan'.
