EN: to move something gradually/incrementally
This is how you move furniture when you're alone and don't want to scratch the floor. `Paisurin mo lang`, like how you slowly slide out of a family gathering you don't want to be in. Just a little bit at a time until you're at the door.
From `isod` (to move slightly), with circumfix `pa- -in`.
The phrase "nang unti-unti" (gradually) is often added for emphasis but is inherent in the word's meaning.
