EN: to ask someone to hang (e.g., clothes)
The battle cry of every Filipino household on laundry day. When your mom finishes washing the clothes, this is the command she gives you. "**Pasampay** mo na 'tong mga damit!" (Go hang these clothes now!). It's a simple request that carries the weight of a thousand wet jeans.
From `pa-` (request/causative prefix) + `sampay` (to hang on a line).
ROOT MEANING: Hung up to dry
A very common household command. The full verb form is 'ipasampay'.
