FIL: Isang lugar kung saan nagaganap ang pandarambong o kung saan itinatago ang mga bagay na dinambong.
EN: A place of plunder; a den of thieves
This is the headquarters for the bad guys, the secret warehouse where they count their loot. It's the villain's lair in a movie, or maybe that sketchy building everyone whispers about. It’s where the 'dambong' is stored.
From 'dambong' (plunder) + '-an' (place indicator).
A very rare word, more likely to be encountered in literature than in conversation.
