FIL: Isang uri ng baboy na hindi alaga at malayang nabubuhay sa mga kagubatan o kabundukan.
EN: wild boar
The wild cousin of the domestic pig. This is the baboy that went off-the-grid, lives in the mountains, and probably has a man-bun. It's the original "free-range pork" before it was cool. Often the antagonist in folktales, messing up Ka Juan's kamote patch.
Compound of "baboy" (pig) and "damo" (grass/weeds, but here implying "wild" or "of the wilderness").
ROOT MEANING: pig, pork
Literally "pig of the grass/wild".
