EN: kingdom
The OG 'territory.' Before there were condo associations or barangay captains, there were kingdoms. Today, you use it to describe your room which is your personal **kaharian** where you rule, or your lola's kitchen, which is *her* **kaharian** and you better follow her rules or face the wrath of the chancla.
From `ka-`...`-an` (denoting a place or domain) around `hari` (king).
ROOT MEANING: king
Used for literal kingdoms in history/fantasy and metaphorically for one's personal domain or area of expertise.
