FIL: Nakahiga sa higaan dahil sa malubhang sakit o karamdaman at hindi na makabangon.
EN: bedridden
This is the state when you're so sick, you can't even get up to check your phone notifications. You're just stuck in bed, probably with a basin nearby, waiting for someone to bring you lugaw. It's beyond 'may sakit lang,' it's full-on teleserye level of sick.
From na- + ratay (to be confined to bed), with reduplication of the first syllable of the root.
A formal and somewhat dramatic word for being confined to bed due to illness.
