FIL: Isang kalagayan ng pagkagulat, pagkatakot, o pagkalito na sanhi ng isang biglaang pangyayari; kaguluhan.
EN: commotion, uproar, alarm
Think of that moment when someone yells 'Sunog!' in a crowded mall, or when your mom discovers the mountain of laundry you hid under your bed. That sudden panic and chaos? That's 'kagulawan'. It's the 'OMG, what's happening?!' energy.
Often implies a sudden, startling event that causes chaos, as opposed to 'kaguluhan' which can be a more general state of disorder.
