/pu-ma-hi-NU-hod/
FIL: Ang pagpayag o pagsang-ayon sa isang kahilingan o kagustuhan, kadalasan ay mula sa isang posisyon ng higit na kapangyarihan o awtoridad, o pagkatapos ng matagal na pagtanggi.
EN: to condescend; to yield; to accede
Imagine your strict parent finally agreeing to let you go on that beach trip after weeks of 'kulit'. That act of them finally giving in? That's pumahinuhod. It's when someone in power benevolently grants your wish, or when you finally give in to someone's pestering. It has a slight 'Okay fine, you win' vibe.
From '-um-' (actor-focus infix) + 'pahinuhod' (consent, yielding). The root 'hinuhod' is obscure on its own.
A formal and somewhat literary word. 'Pumayag' is the more common equivalent.
