FIL: Tumutukoy sa proseso ng paggaling o pagbuti ng kalagayan mula sa isang sakit o karamdaman.
EN: to be cured, to get well
This is the 'get well soon' verb. When you catch a cold from the BPO office's arctic aircon or after getting soaked in the rain, you hope na 'galingin' ka agad. It's about recovering from sickness. Not to be confused with 'galingan' (to do well). You 'galingan' your exam, but you hope 'galingin' ka from your flu.
ROOT MEANING: excellent, skilled; excellence, skill
This word is less common in modern spoken language than 'gumaling' or 'magpagaling'. It can feel a bit more formal or literary.
