/di-bor-SYA-da/
FIL: Isang babae na legal na hiwalay sa kanyang asawa sa pamamagitan ng diborsiyo.
EN: divorcée; divorced female
She's the "it's complicated" status made official, but for women. In a country where divorce isn't legal (yet?), being a **diborsyada** often means you got divorced abroad. She's not just a 'hiwalay', she's got the paperwork to prove it. She's the main character in her own story of starting over.
From Spanish `divorciada` (divorced female).
ROOT MEANING: divorce
Refers specifically to a female. The male counterpart is `diborsyado`. The spelling `diborsiyada` is also used but less common. As divorce is not legal in the Philippines (except for Muslims), this term usually applies to Filipinos divorced in other countries or to foreigners.
