FIL: Ang haba ng panahon o distansya; maaari ring tumukoy sa lugar kung saan pumupondo o humihimpil ang sasakyang-dagat (anchorage).
EN: duration
This word is all about how long something lasts. Parang 'yong paghihintay mo sa sahod, 'yon ang **lawig** ng pagtitiis. It can also mean 'anchorage', the place where a ship parks. So basically, it's about waiting or staying put, whether you're a ship or just a marites waiting for the next chismis to drop anchor.
Possibly related to sea-faring terms, connected to the idea of a long voyage or a place to stay for a long time.
Less common in everyday conversation, more poetic or formal. 'Tagal' is the more common word for duration.
