EN: to have someone be armed; to arm someone
This is a word straight out of a historical action movie or a video game. It's the command a general gives before a big battle: "**Pasandata** ang mga kawal!" (Arm the soldiers!). In modern terms, it's what you tell your groupmates before a major presentation: "Okay team, **pasandata** na tayo ng PowerPoint, handouts, at confidence!"
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `sandata` (weapon).
ROOT MEANING: weapon
