EN: grass, weed
The green stuff on your lawn you have to cut, or the unwanted plants your mom asks you to pull out from her garden ('bunutin mo ang mga damo!'). It's everywhere, from the side of the road to the football field. Also, a very common, very outdated slang for marijuana, but let's stick to the plant you see in parks, okay?
Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *damu.
Can refer to both lawn grass and unwanted weeds. Context is key.
