EN: to come from, to originate from
This is the 'provenance' verb. Where did that chismis come from? 'Saan nanggaling 'yan?' Where are you from? 'Saan ka nanggaling?' It's about tracing something back to its source, whether it's a package from Shopee, a brilliant idea, or your messy ex who suddenly reappeared.
From `mang-` (verb prefix) + `galing` (to come from).
ROOT MEANING: from, came from
The form 'nanggaling' (past/perfect tense) is extremely common.
