EN: wisdom, knowledge
This is more than just being 'book smart.' It's the wisdom of your lola who knows the perfect herb for your cough and the perfect advice for your broken heart. It's what you gain after surviving multiple project deadlines, toxic bosses, and EDSA traffic. The ultimate level-up from 'kaalaman' (knowledge).
From ka- (state/quality prefix) + dunong (knowledge, wisdom) + -an (state suffix).
ROOT MEANING: wisdom
'Karunungan' implies a deeper, more profound understanding than 'kaalaman' (knowledge). It often carries a sense of experience and good judgment.
