EN: milkman; dairy farmer; milk vendor
The OG food delivery guy. Before there was GrabFood, there was the 'maggagatas' who delivered fresh milk to your doorstep. Today, the term can also refer to anyone in the dairy business, from the farmer milking the carabao to the person selling kesong puti at the palengke.
From 'mag-' (prefix indicating occupation) + 'gatas' (milk).
ROOT MEANING: milk
The prefix 'mag-' plus a noun root often creates a noun for a person whose occupation is related to that noun (e.g., magtataho, magbabalut).
