EN: Dryness, aridity
That feeling when your throat is a desert after a long presentation, or when your skin feels like chicharon in the summer heat. It's also the vibe of a conversation that has died, or a bank account before payday. 'Grabe ang katuyuan ng lalamunan ko, pa-abot ng tubig.'
From `ka-` + `tuyo` (dry) + `-an`, signifying the state or quality of 'dryness'.
