EN: slapping
The signature move of every teleserye kontrabida. It's the physical manifestation of "How dare you?!". It can also be used figuratively, like "parang sumasampal sa mukha ko ang katotohanan" (the truth is like slapping me in the face). It's the present tense of delivering a dramatic, open-palmed strike.
From sum- (actor-focus infix) + sampal (slap), with reduplication of the first syllable (sa-) to indicate progressive aspect.
ROOT MEANING: Slap
This is the progressive or present tense, indicating the ongoing action of slapping. It can be literal or metaphorical.
