FIL: Isang malapad na piraso ng kahoy o metal sa likuran ng isang bangka o barko na ginagamit upang imaneho o gabayan ang direksyon nito.
EN: rudder
Before there was a steering wheel, there was the dimon. It's the thing at the back of a boat that decides if you're going straight to your destination or ending up in a completely different barangay. Metaphorically, it's your moral compass or the principles that steer your life. 'Nawalan ng dimon' means you've lost control.
From Spanish `timón` (rudder, helm).
Primarily used in a nautical context. Sometimes used metaphorically to mean 'guidance' or 'control'. The original Spanish spelling 'timon' is also used.
