EN: Gnashing of teeth; intense suppressed anger or passion
This is that feeling when your internet dies in the middle of a crucial online game, or when you see your crush with someone else. You're not screaming, but your jaw is working overtime. It's the physical manifestation of "gigil," that untranslatable urge to squeeze something cute or to punch a wall.
From 'pang-' (used for forming nouns) + 'gigil' (intense, suppressed emotion).
ROOT MEANING: an overwhelming feeling of adoration or frustration
Often associated with anger, but can also be used for intense affection or frustration.
