EN: swelling, puffiness
This is what happens to your eyes after a 3-hour K-drama marathon that ends tragically. It's the "puyat ka na naman" look, the physical evidence of either a heartbreak, an all-nighter for a deadline, or too much instant noodles the night before. The official look of someone who just lost an argument with their mom.
From `pukto`, meaning swollen or puffy. The `pa-` prefix and reduplication `mu-` (< `pu-`) creates a noun describing the state or process of becoming swollen.
Most commonly used to describe swollen eyes from crying or lack of sleep.
