EN: the act of blocking; interception; holdup
This is what happens on EDSA every single day. But it's also what your sibling does when you're about to get the last piece of chicken. It's the act of blocking something or someone, whether it's a basketball shot, a text message you're trying to read over someone's shoulder, or a highway robbery. Context is key!
From `pang-` + reduplication of the first syllable of the root `ha-` + `harang` (to block).
ROOT MEANING: barrier, block, obstacle
Can refer to a simple act of blocking or a more serious crime like a holdup.
