EN: to cause annoyance; to be the source of frustration
From slow internet during a crucial Zoom meeting to that one person who types 'TY' instead of 'Thank you' after you wrote a whole novel for them. Anything that makes your blood boil just a little bit and makes you whisper 'Bwisit!' under your breath is the 'ikabubuwisit' mo.
From 'i-' (causative prefix) + 'ka-' (causative prefix) + 'buwisit' (annoyance, from Hokkien 'bo ui sit' meaning 'no clothes to wear').
ROOT MEANING: Annoying; infuriating
A strong word for expressing the cause of annoyance or bad luck.
