EN: to squeeze
What you do to a calamansi to get the juice for your pancit canton. Or what you do to your last tube of toothpaste to get every last bit. 'Pigain mo pa, mayroon pa 'yan!' It's the act of applying pressure to extract something.
From `piga` (squeeze) with the infix `-um-`.
`Pigain` (piga + -in) is a more common form when there is a direct object. `Pumiga` is the actor-focus form.
