FIL: Punuin o malukuban ng isang matinding damdamin, tulad ng lungkot, takot, o ligaya.
EN: to be filled with; to be overcome with (emotion)
This is a very deep, very 'makata' (poetic) word. It's when an emotion completely takes you over. It's not just 'malungkot' (sad), it's being 'sakbibi ng kalungkutan' (overcome with sadness). It's the feeling you get when your favorite K-drama character dies, or when you finally get your 13th-month pay. It's an emotional full-body takeover.
From 'sakbibi' (full of, laden with) + suffix '-in'.
Almost exclusively used for strong emotions. It's a literary or formal term, often found in literature, songs, and formal speeches.
