EN: to wear a bandolier or sash; to put on a sword belt (as a group)
Imagine the Katipuneros or a squad of soldiers all gearing up at the same time, putting on their sword belts or sashes across their chests. That's sakbatan. It's the group-action version of getting ready for battle, very #SquadGoals, 1896 edition.
From 'sakbat' (sash, sword belt) + suffix '-an' (denoting a reciprocal or group action).
A rare, literary word. The '-an' suffix here implies a collective or reciprocal action, meaning people are doing it to each other or all at once.
