EN: to hack; to chop (with a heavy blade)
This isn't your delicate kitchen chopping. This is provincial, heavy-duty action. Think clearing a path in the jungle with a bolo, or splitting firewood with an axe. It’s a powerful, swinging motion intended to cut through something tough. The verb form of "Bahala na si Batman!" when facing a giant coconut you need to open.
From 'taga' (a hack or chop) with the -um- infix.
ROOT MEANING: a hack
Implies the use of a heavy blade like a bolo, machete, or axe. It's a downward or sideways hacking motion.
