FIL: Ang katangian ng pagiging matulin o mabilis; ang bilis ng paggalaw o pagkilos ng isang bagay.
EN: speediness, velocity, swiftness
This is the formal, scientific term for 'bilis.' You'd see this in a physics textbook, not in a conversation about who can finish their food first. It’s the 'velocity' to the everyday 'speed.' Think of it as the word you'd use to sound smart when describing how fast the internet connection is (or isn't).
From 'ka-' + 'tulin' (speed) + '-an' (suffix indicating quality or state).
ROOT MEANING: speed; velocity; swiftness
More formal than 'bilis'. Used in technical or literary contexts.
