FIL: Pamahalaan ang direksyon ng isang sasakyan, partikular na ang isang bangka, gamit ang isang timon o ugit.
EN: to steer, to direct
This is some deep, nautical Tagalog. Imagine being the captain of a *bangka*. You're the one who 'umugit'—who steers the boat. Metaphorically, it's about taking control and setting the direction. It's what the team leader *should* be doing, but sometimes it feels like no one is at the helm. Very rare to hear this outside of literature or fishing villages.
A very specific and somewhat archaic term related to steering a boat. The root 'ugit' means rudder.
