/ma-ang-HANG/
FIL: Nagtataglay ng anghang o lasang parang sili na nagdudulot ng bahagyang init o paso sa dila.
EN: spicy, hot (taste)
The official feeling when you eat Bicol Express or Samyang noodles and suddenly question all your life choices. It's the 'Kaya pa ba?' of flavors. Can also describe a spicy take or a sharp tongue, like your tita's 'tumaba ka' comments.
From `ma-` (prefix indicating a quality) + `anghang` (spiciness).
ROOT MEANING: spiciness
Distinct from 'mainit' which means hot in temperature. 'Maanghang' is strictly for taste. It can also be used figuratively to mean 'sharp' or 'biting' when describing words or a person's tongue.
