EN: Inducer of labor (contractions); laxative
The 'deadline is tomorrow' of pregnancy. It's the spicy food, the long walks, or the actual medication that tells the baby, 'Eviction notice na, besh!' Can also refer to something that makes you run to the CR, like that sketchy street food you bravely ate.
From 'pang-' (instrumental prefix) + 'pa-' (causative prefix) + 'hilab' (contraction, cramp). Lit. 'that which is used to cause contractions'.
Has two common meanings: inducing uterine contractions for childbirth, or inducing bowel movements (as a laxative). Context is key.
