tanggap

Tagalog

Etymology

Either inherited from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *taŋgap (“accept”) or borrowed from Malay tangkap (“gripping; clasping; capture by the hand”), from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *taŋkəp (“catch, as by covering”). The two etymology sources may be equivalent. Compare Kapampangan tanggap (“accept”), Maranao tangkap (“accept”), and Balinese tanggap (“take into hand”).
