FIL: Sa paraang ganap at walang anumang pagkukulang; buo at husto.
EN: completely, totally, thoroughly
It's the "all-in" of Tagalog. When you love someone `lubusan`, you're not holding back, parang unlimited rice sa Mang Inasal. When you understand something `lubusan`, it's not just surface-level knowledge; you get the whole chismis, pati footnotes. It's the opposite of "half-assed."
From `lubos` (complete) + `-an` (suffix indicating totality).
ROOT MEANING: completely; fully; absolutely
Can function as an adverb modifying a verb (e.g., "lubusang sinuportahan") or an adjective describing a noun (e.g., "lubusang pagbabago").
