FIL: Isang tao na propesyonal o regular na nakikipagbuno o lumalahok sa larong buno.
EN: wrestler
The Pinoy version of a WWE superstar, but probably with more dramatic backstory involving family and maybe a carabao. They're the ones you see in local fiestas doing body slams for a prize, or your lolo telling stories about his glorious wrestling days. Think less 'The Rock', more 'The Bato'.
From `man-` (doer prefix) + `buno` (wrestling). The `n` assimilates to `m` before `b`.
Often refers to a professional or someone who does it as a sport.
