FIL: Ang pagkawala o pagbabago ng orihinal na kulay ng isang bagay, karaniwan ay dahil sa pagkabilad sa araw o paggamit ng kemikal tulad ng pangkula (bleach).
EN: to be bleached, to be discolored
This is what happens to your favorite black shirt after you accidentally spill bleach on it, or after leaving it out in the sun for a week. It's the reason we have the phrase "Wais sa pag-laba" because one wrong move and your clothes will get "makula". It's the bane of every laundry day.
From "ma-" (involuntary action prefix) + "kula" (bleaching, discoloration).
Specifically refers to discoloration, often fading or lightening, due to sun or chemicals.
