FIL: Isang bagay, alok, o paraan na ginagamit upang himukin o hikayatin ang isang tao na gawin ang isang bagay.
EN: inducement, persuasion, incentive
This is the 'promo' or 'freebie' that makes you click 'Add to Cart.' It's the 13th-month pay that keeps you from resigning, or the 'sample' at the grocery store that convinces you to buy the whole box. A *pahikayat* is the bait, the lure, the extra something that seals the deal.
From `pa-` (instrumental prefix) + `hikayat` (persuade).
ROOT MEANING: persuasion, inducement
Refers to the thing or method used for persuasion, not the act itself (which is 'paghikayat').
