EN: mistress; paramour
The main character in every Pinoy teleserye that involves sampalan and a dramatic confrontation scene at a fancy restaurant. The word that launches a thousand 'Marites' investigations. It's not just a person, it's a plot device.
From the verb "kabit" (to attach, to connect), implying an 'attached' or secondary person.
This term has a very strong and specific cultural connotation in the Philippines, almost exclusively referring to a "mistress" and carrying heavy social stigma. Pronunciation stress is on the second syllable, unlike the verb.
