EN: having the same spelling
A very specific, almost "conyo" or code-switched term. It's a Tagalized version of "having the same spelling." You'd use it to describe homographs. "Pareho sila ng tunog pero hindi sila kaispeling." (They sound the same but don't have the same spelling). It’s a word born out of the BPO/office environment where English and Tagalog are constantly mixed.
From `ka-` (co- prefix) + `ispeling` (spelling), a loanword from English 'spelling'.
This is a modern, informal, code-switched word. The formal way to say this would be "magkapareho ng baybay" or "magkatulad sa baybay."
