EN: sponge bath
This is the 'punas-punas' method. It's what you do when you're sick, when it's super cold, or when you're running late for your Zoom meeting and don't have time for a full shower. It's the express lane version of ligo. A quick wash of the essentials.
From Spanish 'baños', plural of 'baño' (bath), adapted to mean the act of bathing in a limited way.
'Magbanyos' is the verb form. It's distinct from 'ligo' (full bath/shower).
