FIL: Tumutukoy sa isang lugar na maraming tumutubong halamang pako (fern).
EN: abounding in ferns
Describes a place that looks like the set of Jurassic Park—ferns everywhere! If your backyard is mapako, you can probably just forage for your next 'gising-gising' or 'ensaladang pako' right there. It's a very specific kind of green and lush.
ROOT MEANING: fern
The root word 'pako' refers to the edible fiddlehead fern (Athyrium esculentum). The pronunciation is the same as the verb form, so context is key.
