EN: seashore area
This is the '-an' suffix in action, turning 'aplaya' (beach) into a place *of* beaches. Think of it as the whole district or barangay name, like 'Brgy. Aplayan.' It's not just the sand, it's the whole coastal 'hood.
Mula sa 'aplaya' at hulaping '-an'.
ROOT MEANING: beach
More commonly used as a proper noun for a place name than as a generic noun.
