FIL: Ang kalagayan ng kawalan ng liwanag; ang pagiging madilim.
EN: darkness
The reason you stub your toe at night on the way to the CR. It's what happens during a brownout when you can't find the emergency light. Figuratively, it's the 'dark side'—the time of despair, ignorance, or evil. 'Nasa kadiliman ako' can mean 'I'm literally in the dark' or 'I'm going through a tough time.'
From ka- + dilim + -an, meaning the state or expanse of darkness.
ROOT MEANING: darkness
Used both literally for absence of light and figuratively for ignorance, evil, or despair.
