EN: atmosphere, sky, airwaves
This is the OG 'cloud.' Before iCloud, there was just himpapawid. It's where airplanes fly, where birds chill, and where radio DJs used to say 'Nasa himpapawid po tayo!' It's the sky, but with a more poetic, 'Lupang Hinirang' vibe.
Likely a compound of 'hangin' (air/wind) and 'papawid' (upward).
Sounds formal and poetic. 'Langit' is more common for 'sky'. 'Airwaves' is a common modern meaning, especially in broadcasting.
