EN: lantern, lamp
Okay, so everyone knows "parol" for Christmas, right? But sometimes, Pinoys just use the English word **lantern**, especially for the non-Christmas, more practical kind you'd bring camping or use during a brownout. It's less festive, more functional. Think of it as the parol's serious, working-class cousin. The more 'correct' Tagalog/Spanish loanword is 'lantirna'.
From English "lantern".
This is a direct English borrowing. The native equivalent is 'parol' (for festive ones) or the Spanish loanword 'lantirna' (for general use).
