FIL: Ang kalagayan ng pagiging sawa o pagkabagot dahil sa labis o paulit-ulit na karanasan sa isang bagay.
EN: satiety, weariness, boredom
This is the feeling you get when you've eaten your favorite adobo for the 5th straight day. It's the 'umay' level-up. It's also that stage in a long-term relationship where you've heard all their stories, and now you're just watching Netflix in comfortable silence... or boredom. The struggle is real.
From ka- (state/quality) + sawa (fed up, weary) + -an (location/state).
ROOT MEANING: fed up, tired of, jaded
Often used interchangeably with 'pagkasawa' or 'pagkabagot'. 'Kasawaan' has a slightly more formal or literary feel.
