EN: feast, banquet, party
The main event. The reason why your Tita from the US sent a Balikbayan box. It's the gathering where the lechon is the star, the karaoke machine is the supporting actor, and the chismis is the script. It's where "take out" is not just allowed, it's expected.
From 'handa' (to prepare) + '-an' (locus suffix).
ROOT MEANING: food prepared for a feast; offering
Often used for birthdays, fiestas, baptisms, and other celebrations.
