EN: to be able to guard; to be able to watch over
Like being the designated "bantay" for the group's belongings at the beach while everyone else is swimming. Or when you're the only one sober enough to make sure your drunk friends get home safe. "Sino ang makatanod sa mga gamit natin mamaya?"
From maka- (ability prefix) + tanod (guard).
ROOT MEANING: guard, watchman
"Tanod" is often associated with a barangay tanod (village watchman). This verb extends that idea to the ability to perform the act of guarding.
