EN: To delouse someone; to pick lice from hair
The ultimate bonding experience for a Pinoy mother and child, or between mag-kumare while waiting for the latest teleserye. It's a meticulous search-and-destroy mission against tiny invaders, often done in the afternoon sun. 'Pahinguto' is an act of love, hygiene, and sometimes, a source of juicy neighborhood gossip.
From `pa-` + a variation of `pang-` + `kuto` (louse).
A very specific cultural activity, often done manually.
