FIL: Ang pagliligtas sa isang tao, bagay, o hayop mula sa kapahamakan, panganib, o kamatayan.
EN: To save, to rescue
That feeling when your friend saves you a seat during a crowded MRT ride, or when GrabFood arrives just as you're about to faint from hunger. That's 'sagip' in action. It's the dramatic rescue, whether from a flood or from being 'seen-zoned'.
Possibly from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *sagəp.
Often used in the context of natural disasters (bagyo, baha, lindol) or life-threatening situations. The verb forms are 'sumagip' (actor-focus) and 'sagipin' (object-focus).
