The opposite of a 'nomad'. This is when you finally find a place to settle down, whether it's a job, a home, or a relationship. "After years of job hopping, gusto ko na sanang mapirmi sa isang kumpanya." It's the goal of someone tired of 'ghosting' and wants something stable. From "pirmi," meaning 'fixed' or 'always'.
From ma- (potential/involuntary action prefix) + pirmi (fixed, constant, from Spanish 'firme').
ROOT MEANING: permanent, fixed, constant
Can mean to settle down in a location, or for a situation to become fixed.
