/pang-hi-hi-MA-sok/
FIL: Ang akto ng pagpasok o pakikialam sa isang bagay, lugar, o usapin nang walang pahintulot o karapatan.
EN: intrusion, intervention, meddling
This is when someone oversteps their boundaries. Like your tita asking why you're still single at the family reunion, or when a country meddles in another's affairs. It's the ultimate "sawsaw" move, but on a more serious level. Unsolicited advice on your life choices? That's low-key panghihimasok.
From pang- (instrumental/nominalizing prefix) + reduplication of the first syllable of the root + pasok (enter). The 'p' in 'pasok' assimilates to 'm' after 'pang-'.
ROOT MEANING: to enter; to go in
Often used in formal contexts like politics (territorial intrusion) or legal matters (trespassing). Can also be used for personal relationships to describe meddling.
