EN: to have a tantrum, to become hysterical
'Yung moment na nag-crash ang laptop mo sa gitna ng deadline, tapos nawala pa ang internet. The only logical response is to saputihin. It's the adult version of a toddler's tantrum, often triggered by slow WiFi, a plot twist sa K-drama, or when your food delivery is late.
From 'sapot' (cobweb, film, covering) + '-in' suffix. The idea is being 'covered' or overwhelmed by an emotion.
ROOT MEANING: spiderweb, cobweb
Often used to describe an emotional outburst that seems disproportionate to the situation. The root verb form is 'sinapot'.
