FIL: Ang biglaan at madalas ay galit na pag-alis sa isang lugar; pagtakas o paglayo nang walang paalam.
EN: to leave (angrily), to run away, to scram
The ultimate "I'm out!" move. This isn't just leaving; this is leaving with *drama*. It's what a teenager threatens to do when grounded, or what you tell a cockroach in your room: "Lumayas ka!" It's a departure with an attitude. Scram! Get lost!
From the root word 'layas' (roaming, vagrant) + the '-um-' infix.
Has a strong, negative, and often dismissive or angry connotation. It's not a neutral "to leave" ('umalis').
