EN: end-point, final destination, result
'Hantong' is the 'and what happened?' part of the story. It's the final destination. 'Saan ba 'to hahantong?' (Where will this lead?) is the question you ask about a budding office romance, a political scandal, or your ever-growing Shopee cart. It's the end of the line, for better or for worse.
This root word is most frequently encountered in its affixed forms, such as 'humantong' (to end up), 'kinahantungan' (the result/outcome), and 'hahantungan' (the future outcome).
