EN: harm, danger, misfortune, peril
This is what your nanay warns you about when you go out late at night. 'Huwag kang gagawa ng ikapapahamak mo!' It's the universe's way of saying 'plot twist!' but the bad kind. It's the consequence of 'bahala na' when 'bahala na' doesn't work out.
From ka- + pahamak + -an. 'Pahamak' itself comes from the root 'hamak' (lowly, debased), meaning something that causes debasement or harm.
ROOT MEANING: detrimental; ruinous; a person who causes trouble
A common word used in warnings and describing negative outcomes.
