EN: appropriateness, propriety, fitness
Ito 'yung 'common sense' pero with class. It's knowing what's proper to do or say. Like not wearing beach shorts to a wedding, or not asking your Tita about her weight during Noche Buena. It's about having the right 'tancha' (estimation) for social situations.
From ka- + tampat (proper, fit) + -an. Tampat is an old word.
Formal and somewhat archaic. 'Kaangkupan' is a more common synonym.
