EN: to soar; to fly high
This isn't just 'lumipad' (to fly). This is flying with style and majesty. Think of an eagle gliding effortlessly in the sky, a kite catching the perfect wind, or your career taking off after a big promotion. Pumailanglang is the poetic, dramatic, slow-motion version of rising up. It's what you want your dreams to do.
From '-um-' (actor-focus infix) + 'pailanglang' (upward flight). The root 'ilanglang' itself means to soar.
A very descriptive and somewhat literary word. Used for both literal flying and metaphorical rising.
