EN: a place to live in; to be able to live in
As a noun: It's your future condo, your dream house, or even just a decent apartment for rent. The place you can finally call home. As a verb: It's the "pwede na 'to!" moment when you're house-hunting and find a place that's actually livable. "Bes, malinis at may tubig, matitirahan na 'to!"
From *ma- -an* (potential/locative affix) + *tira* (to reside). Note: This 'tira' is a homonym of 'tira' (leftover).
ROOT MEANING: to live; to reside; to stay
