EN: gallows; place of execution (by hanging)
A super dark and historical term. Think José Rizal and Gomburza. It's the place where people were executed by hanging back in the day. Nowadays, you'd only hear this in a history class or a period film. It's the ultimate "game over" location of the Spanish colonial era.
From 'bitay' (to hang/execute by hanging) + '-an' (location suffix).
A locative noun derived from 'bitay'. Refers specifically to the place or structure.
