EN: only a piece; a mere piece
When you order a large pizza tapos ang binigay sa'yo ng "friend" mo ay kakapiraso lang. It's that feeling of "anyare?" (what happened?). It's the diet version of sharing, usually against your will.
From ka- (denoting singularity or smallness) + ka- (reduplication) + piraso (piece).
ROOT MEANING: piece, slice, item
