/ka-pa-ra-ra-KAN/
FIL: Ang kabuluhan, pakinabang, o halaga ng isang bagay, gawain, o pangyayari.
EN: usefulness, benefit, worth
This is that Tita-level word for 'So what's the point?' or 'Anong mapapala ko dito?' When you're weighing if that unli-rice promo is worth the extra 50 pesos, you're questioning its kapararakan. It’s the ROI (return on investment) of your life choices, often used when there seems to be none.
From `ka-` + `parak` + reduplication of `-ra-`. The root `parak` is an archaic term related to destination or purpose.
Frequently used in negative constructions like 'walang kapararakan' to mean 'pointless' or 'useless'.
