EN: to make someone research; to have something researched
This is what your thesis adviser does to you. They don't do the research themselves; they make *you* do it. 'Okay, class, for your assignment, `pagsaliksikin` ninyo ang history of Filipino memes.' It's the act of delegating the 3 AM, 50-tab-browser-session struggle to someone else.
From `pag-` + `saliksik` (research) + `-in` (causative verb suffix).
A causative verb. The subject of the verb is the one ordering or causing the research to be done. Not to be confused with 'saliksikin' (to research something). The `pag-` prefix here makes it causative.
