EN: act of putting a flower or ornament on the hair or ear
Before hair clips and scrunchies, this was the OG way to accessorize. Think of dalagang Pilipina paintings with a gumamela behind her ear. It's the ultimate low-budget, high-impact 'natural beauty' look. Very Maria Clara vibes.
From `pag-` + `sumping` (flower/ornament worn in hair).
This is a very rare, literary word. You're more likely to encounter it in old poems or historical fiction than in everyday conversation.
