FIL: Isang malawak na lugar na sagana at makapal ang mga puno at iba pang halaman.
EN: forest, woods, woodland
Basically, a place with a lot of 'kahoy' (wood/trees). It’s where duwendes, kapres, and other engkantos supposedly hang out. Think of it as nature's version of a crowded mall, but with trees instead of people and oxygen instead of sale signs.
From ka- + (reduplicated first syllable of root) kahoy + -an. The ka-...(an) with a reduplicated root often signifies a collection or abundance of the root word.
ROOT MEANING: wood, tree
Synonymous with 'gubat' but can sometimes imply a less wild, more managed or smaller wooded area.
