EN: to be chopped into pieces, to be splintered
Imagine a lumberjack going wild on a log. The end result is that the log is matilad—chopped up into many pieces or splinters. It's more than just being 'cut'; it implies being broken down into smaller, often rough, segments. Parang puso mo after ng breakup, tilad-tilad.
From `ma-` (involuntary/ability prefix) + `tilad` (a chip or splinter of wood).
ROOT MEANING: sliver; splinter; chip (of wood)
Specific to materials like wood or bamboo being broken down. Can be used metaphorically for something shattered.
