EN: care; caution; safekeeping
'Ingat' is the Philippines' national love language. It's more than just 'care'; it's a whole culture. It's your mom reminding you to bring an umbrella, your friend texting you to message them when you get home, and the security guard saying it as you leave the building. It's the invisible hug everyone gives you. The noun form is the *concept* of that hug.
Mula sa Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *iŋat.
While the verb/command form is more common, the noun form is used to describe the quality of being careful or the act of safekeeping.
