EN: injustice
That feeling when you get blamed for something your sibling did. Or on a larger scale, the systemic issues that make you want to join a protest or just post angry rants on social media. It's the "unfair!" of the adult world.
From `ka-` (marker for abstract nouns) + `walang` ('without') + `katarungan` ('justice'). Literally 'the state of being without justice'.
