EN: Entanglement; intertwining
That moment you pull your earphones out of your pocket and they're a chaotic mess. That's 'pagsasalabid'. It also applies to complicated situations, like when your love life is a web of "it's complicated" statuses, or when a political scandal involves so many people it's hard to track who's who. It's the physical and metaphorical "gulo" (mess).
From "salabid" (tangle, snarl). The "pag- -an" affix with reduplication of the first syllable of the root ("sa") indicates the act or process of something becoming tangled.
Can be used literally for physical tangles or figuratively for complex, messy situations.
