EN: to be able to see from a distance; to behold
It's what you do from a rooftop bar in BGC, looking at the city lights. It's that moment you're on a mountain peak and you can see the entire valley below. It’s seeing something far away, giving you that 'I'm the king of the world!' or 'Wow, ang liit ko lang pala' feeling.
From 'maka-' (ability prefix) + 'tanaw' (view, sight from a distance).
ROOT MEANING: view, sight (from a distance)
Implies seeing something from a significant distance, often with a sense of perspective or scale.
