FIL: Lagyan ng sapin o panakip sa ilalim upang maprotektahan ang ibabaw o gawing mas komportable.
EN: to put a layer/lining on something
This is what you do when you put a placemat on the table before your messy pamangkin eats. Or putting newspaper on the floor before painting. It's the "maglagay ka ng sapin" command from your mom to prevent a mess. In relationships, it's putting up a 'friend' layer first before admitting you have a crush.
From `pa-` (causative prefix) + `sapin` (layer, underlayer) + `-an` (locative suffix).
ROOT MEANING: Underlayer, lining, padding, base
Commonly used in household contexts for adding a protective or functional layer to a surface.
