EN: To snatch or grab suddenly; to juggle.
Imagine you're in a crowded MRT and someone's phone starts to fall. That quick, reflexive grab to save it? That's 'siklutin'. It can also mean to snatch something away, like how your sibling 'siniklot' the last piece of fried chicken from the plate. It’s a sudden, upward grabbing motion.
From 'siklot' (the game/motion) + '-in' (object-focus verb suffix).
Derived from the game 'siklot', the verb captures the upward snatching/catching motion. It implies quickness and dexterity.
