EN: shiny; sparkling; glittery
The goal of every Christmas decoration, a newly-polished floor, or that sequined dress you bought from Shopee. It's the bling-bling, the sparkle, the ✨ aesthetic. Anything that catches the light and goes, 'Look at me!' is makislap. From a diamond ring to Edward Cullen in the sunlight.
ma- (adjective prefix) + kislap (sparkle, glitter)
ROOT MEANING: sparkle
Describes something that reflects light in a brilliant, often fragmented way. Different from 'maliwanag' (bright).
