EN: to get out of water; to go upland
That moment you finally get out of the swimming pool after your skin has turned into a prune. Or when you're wading through a flooded street in Manila during a typhoon and you finally reach dry land. 'Bes, umahon ka na sa pagka-marupok mo sa kanya!' (Friend, rise up from your vulnerability to him/her!)
Mula sa salitang-ugat na 'ahon' (rise from a low place) at unlaping '-um-'.
Often used in contexts involving water (swimming, floods) or overcoming a difficult situation (pag-ahon sa hirap).
