FIL: Nasa isang kalagayan na hindi gaanong paborable; may mas maliit na tsansang manalo o magtagumpay.
EN: disadvantaged; underdog
Being the underdog. It's when you're in a basketball game and the other team has a player who's 7 feet tall. It's applying for a job where another applicant is the boss's nephew. You're starting with a handicap. But hey, Pinoys love a good 'dihado' story who wins in the end!
From Spanish 'dejado' (left behind, abandoned). Its meaning shifted in Filipino to 'disadvantaged'.
Often used interchangeably with 'dehado', which is closer to the Spanish original. 'Dihado' reflects a more nativized spelling and pronunciation.
