EN: hugging each other; constantly hugging
This is the 'PDA level 100' version of a hug. It's when a couple is so sweet it's almost nauseating, always attached at the hip. 'Tingnan mo 'yung dalawa, yakap-yakap na naman sa gitna ng mall.' It can also describe a child clinging to a parent or a comfort object. The repetition implies continuous or reciprocal action.
ROOT MEANING: hug, embrace
A reduplicated form of 'yakap,' indicating reciprocity, continuation, or intensity. Often used with 'mag-' prefix as 'magkayakap-yakap'.
