FIL: Ang ugnayan ng sanhi at bunga; ang bagay na pinagmumulan o dahilan ng isang pangyayari o resulta.
EN: causality, reason
This is the deep, philosophical version of 'dahilan'. It's the 'why' behind the 'what'. If 'bunga' (effect) is your 'sawi' status, the kasanhian is 'seen-zoned ka niya'. It's the root cause you discuss with your therapist. A more formal, almost archaic word for 'sanhi' or 'dahilan'.
From ka- + sanhi + -an. A less common formation, with 'sanhi' itself being the more standard term for 'cause'.
This word is quite rare and literary or archaic. 'Sanhi' or 'dahilan' are the everyday words for 'cause' or 'reason'. 'Kasanhian' might be encountered in old texts or very formal philosophical discussions.
