/pi-na-ik-LI/
FIL: Ginawang mas maikli o mas maigsi kaysa sa orihinal na haba o tagal.
EN: shortened; abbreviated; made shorter
TL;DR in verb form. It's what you do to a long chismis to get to the juicy part, what your tailor does to your pants when you're vertically challenged, or what the professor does to the lecture when there's a bomb threat. It's the art of making things short and sweet (or just short).
From `pina-` + `ikli`. The `pina-` prefix turns the root quality (`ikli` - shortness) into a completed action ('was made short').
ROOT MEANING: shortness; brevity
Can be used for physical length, time duration, or written text. Often functions as an adjective describing the result of the action.
