FIL: Ang pinakasukdulan o pinakamatinding punto ng init, galit, o isang pangyayari.
EN: peak of heat; height (of an event)
Literally the "peak of heat," like high noon in a Philippine summer when you feel like a walking chicharon. But it's also used for the peak of anything intense: the `kainitan` of an argument (the shouting part), the `kainitan` of a basketball game (the last 2 minutes), or the `kainitan` of the chismis (the juiciest part of the story).
From `ka-` + `init` (heat) + `-an` (location/time suffix).
ROOT MEANING: heat, warmth
Can refer to literal temperature or the figurative intensity of a situation.
