EN: a forceful strike, a whack
If 'hambalin' is a repeated whipping, 'hambalos' is that one solid, heavy hit. Imagine swatting a giant ipis with a tsinelas so hard it echoes through the house. That's one 'hambalos'. It's a powerful, resounding strike. 'Isang **hambalos** lang ng dos por dos, tulog ang kalaban.'
Can be used as a noun for the strike itself, or as a verb root (e.g., hambalusin - to strike forcefully).
