EN: danceable; fond of dancing
That feeling when a song drops and you can't help but move. If it's a certified bop that makes you want to hit the dance floor, it's 'masayaw'. Also describes your tita who's the first one to boogie during the family reunion, even if it's just to an 'Otso-Otso' remix.
From 'ma-' (prefix indicating abundance or quality) + 'sayaw' (dance).
ROOT MEANING: dance
Can refer to both a person's quality (fond of dancing) and a song's quality (danceable). Context is key.
