EN: Disappearance; eclipse
Like your salary on the 16th of the month—it just disappears. One minute it's there, the next, 'naglaho na.' It's also what happens when your 'ka-talking stage' suddenly ghosts you. The original term, however, refers to an eclipse.
From Sanskrit 'rāhu', a mythological demon believed to swallow the sun or moon, causing eclipses.
The verb form 'maglaho' (to vanish) is more common in everyday speech. As a noun, 'laho' often specifically refers to an eclipse.
