EN: to branch out; to add branches
Verb form of *sanga*. Literally, it means to put a branch on something. But who does that? The real meaning is figurative: 'to branch out.' It's what your favorite milk tea shop does when it opens a new location (*nagsangahan*). It's what happens to a story when a *chismosa* adds their own 'details'—the plot suddenly *sinangahan* ng mga bagong anggulo (gets new angles/branches).
From 'sanga' + '-an'.
ROOT MEANING: branch
Can be literal (for plants/trees) but more commonly figurative (for business, stories, roads).
