EN: to air out, to ventilate
That thing your mom tells you to do with the damp laundry, the smelly gym clothes, or the baul that's been closed for a decade. 'I-hanginan mo muna 'yan!' It's the natural, no-cost version of Febreze. It's also what you do to yourself when you step out of a stuffy room for a 'breath of fresh air.'
From `hangin` (air) + `-an` (action suffix).
ROOT MEANING: air, wind; arrogance
Can also be used figuratively, like airing out grievances, though this is less common.
