EN: to hug; to embrace
The OG love language. It's what you do when you see your OFW relative at the airport for the first time in years. In hugot culture, 'umakap' is what you wish you could do to your crush, but you're stuck in the friendzone. A free, non-verbal way of saying 'I'm here for you' or 'OMG, I missed you!'
Mula sa salitang-ugat na 'akap' (hug) at unlaping '-um-'.
ROOT MEANING: hug, embrace
Synonymous with 'yumakap'.
