FIL: Isang sitwasyon ng palitan ng away o hidwaan sa pagitan ng mga grupo o indibidwal.
EN: a feud; a mutual fight; a brawl
This is the '-an' suffix doing its magic, implying a reciprocal or mutual action. It's not just a one-sided fight; it's a full-on feud where everyone's involved. Think Montagues vs. Capulets, but make it barangay level. Or that legendary fan war between two K-pop groups online. That's an 'awayan'.
ROOT MEANING: fight; quarrel; conflict
Implies a recurring or mutual conflict, often involving more than two people.
