EN: sibling
Your built-in best friend and/or rival. The person you share parents, clothes (sometimes without permission), and blame with. They're the reason for 'Sumbong kita kay Mama!' and also the first person you call for backup. The term is so powerful it's also used for close friends ('kapatid sa ibang ina') and members of a brotherhood/fraternity.
From `ka-` + `patid`. The archaic root `patid` possibly refers to being 'cut' from the same umbilical cord.
ROOT MEANING: a trip; a snap; a cut
A gender-neutral term for sibling. Can be specified with 'na lalaki' (brother) or 'na babae' (sister).
