FIL: Ang akto ng pagsalo o pagsuporta sa isang bagay na bumabagsak o nangangailangan ng alalay upang hindi bumagsak.
EN: act of catching something falling; supporting
Think of this as the ultimate 'salo' move. It's not just catching a ball. It's when you dive to catch your phone before it hits the pavement, or when you put your hands under a leaking ceiling. It's also used figuratively, like when a friend 'catches' you during a tough time. It's the act of being the support system, the human safety net.
From `pag-` (gerund prefix) + `sapo` (to catch or support from underneath).
ROOT MEANING: to catch something falling; to support from underneath
Can be both literal (catching a physical object) and figurative (providing support).
