FIL: Paligiran o gipitin ang isang tao o bagay upang hindi makatakas o makakilos; sukulin.
EN: to overwhelm; to corner someone
When the deadlines, bills, and your boss's follow-ups all hit you at the same time. You feel cornered, like a character in a fighting game with no health left. That's 'pasukubin'. It's being trapped with no easy way out, whether by enemies, problems, or your tita asking when you're getting married.
`pa-` + `sukob` + `-in`. 'Sukob' can mean to take cover together, but in this context, it is related to 'sukol' (to corner).
ROOT MEANING: sharing a shelter (esp. an umbrella)
This is a less common word. 'Sukulin' is more frequently used and synonymous.
