EN: to have a fishy smell
This is what happens when you don't wash your hands properly after handling fish at the palengke. Or when the tilapia wasn't cleaned well before cooking. It’s that distinct 'lansa' smell/taste that makes you reach for calamansi or vinegar real quick.
From 'ma-' + 'ango' (fishy smell or taste).
ROOT MEANING: a type of clay jar or pot
Used to describe the undesirable fishy quality in food or on surfaces.
