FIL: Isang tao o bagay na nang-aakit o humihimok sa iba na gumawa ng isang bagay na karaniwang itinuturing na mali, imoral, o hindi kanais-nais.
EN: tempter, teaser
This could be the devil on your shoulder whispering 'i-checkout mo na 'yan,' or the friend who keeps offering you cake when you're on a diet. A manunukso tests your self-control. It's that 11.11 sale notification, your ex's 'kamusta?' message at 2 AM, or the smell of Jollibee Chickenjoy when you promised yourself you'd eat healthy. Sila ang dahilan kung bakit napapa-'Lord, give me a sign' ka, and the sign is 'Sale.'
From `man-` (doer prefix) + `tukso` (temptation).
ROOT MEANING: temptation
Can range from a playful 'teaser' to a more serious 'tempter' in a moral or religious sense. The context determines the severity.
