EN: to loiter; to stop intermittently
This is you on the way to the office when you really don't want to go to work. Stop for coffee, stop to look at a cat, stop to tie your already-tied shoelaces. It's the act of delaying the inevitable by making frequent, unnecessary stops. "Huwag kang **tumigil-tigil** diyan, baka ma-late ka!"
Reduplication of the root word.
Implies a sense of dawdling, laziness, or hesitation. The repetition of 'tigil' emphasizes the intermittent nature of the stopping.
