FIL: Nagtataglay ng ibang sangkap o elemento; hindi puro.
EN: mixed; having an additional component
Like your feelings for your ex—hindi pure hate, may konting 'what if' pa. Or like that drink na may kung anong chemical aftertaste. 'This coffee has a weird taste, parang may-halo.' It suggests something isn't pure, for better or for worse.
From "may" (has/with) + "halo" (mix).
ROOT MEANING: mix, ingredient, mixture
Often used to describe something that is not pure or has an additional, sometimes unexpected, element. Can be used for food, drinks, feelings, or intentions.
