EN: Thickener; something that increases thickness
In cooking, it's the cornstarch that saves your watery sauce. For your hair, it's the shampoo that promises 'more volume.' For your face, it's the foundation you apply layer by layer. It can also refer to the 'lakas ng loob' you need to ask for a raise ('pampakapal ng mukha').
From 'pang-' (instrumental prefix) + 'pa-' (causative prefix) + 'kapal' (thickness). Lit. 'that which is used to cause thickness'.
The meaning can be literal (thickening a liquid, hair) or figurative (as in 'pampakapal ng mukha', something that makes one shameless). This entry focuses on the literal sense.
