EN: simplicity
This is the 'simple living' aesthetic. Not having Gucci, but being happy with your ukay-ukay finds. Choosing a quiet coffee at home over a fancy night out. It’s not about being poor, but about finding joy in simplicity, free from the pressure of keeping up with the Joneses (or the Titas of Manila).
From `ka-` (marker for abstract nouns) + `walang` ('without') + `rangya` ('luxury', 'ostentation'). Literally 'the state of being without luxury'.
ROOT MEANING: luxury, ostentation, pomp
Can have a positive connotation (simplicity, modesty) or a neutral one (simply stating a lack of luxury).
