EN: miscarriage
"Agas" is a heavy word, referring to miscarriage. It's a deep, personal loss that is often unspoken. It's the kind of topic discussed in hushed tones or with great sensitivity. Not to be confused with the sound of flowing liquid, this "agas" carries a lot of emotional weight.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *agas* meaning 'miscarriage'.
"Pagkalaglag" is a more common and slightly less direct term for miscarriage. The verb form is "maagasan" (to have a miscarriage).
