FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang babae na mapang-abuso, mapagsamantala, o lumalabis sa paggamit ng kapangyarihan o karapatan.
EN: abusive (female)
This is the female version of an 'abusero'. Think of the 'mataray' na tita who always cuts in line, the boss who makes you work on a long weekend, or anyone who thinks their 'privilege' card never expires. She's the reason why 'respectfully' is added to emails.
From Spanish 'abusada' (abused), but adapted in Filipino to mean 'abusive'.
ROOT MEANING: abuse, misuse, maltreatment
Specifically used for females. The '-da' suffix denotes the feminine gender, a remnant of Spanish influence.
