Tagalog translation of HYPERBOLE: pinagrabe
"The archaeologist was prone to hyperbole in describing his exploits."
Understatement.
The word "hyperbole" comes from the Greek word "hyperbolḗ," which means "exaggeration." It is derived from "hyper," meaning "beyond," and "bállein," meaning "to throw." So, hyperbole essentially means throwing beyond, or exaggerating, for rhetorical effect.
