EN: in an orderly manner; properly
How your mom tells you to sit at the dinner table. It's about doing something properly, neatly, or in a more presentable way. 'Umupo ka nang paayos.' (Sit properly.) 'Isulat mo 'yan nang paayos.' (Write that neatly.) It's the opposite of doing things 'basta-basta lang'.
From `pa-` (in a manner of) + `ayos` (order, proper).
ROOT MEANING: okay; fine; in order
The pronunciation stress is different from the verb form. Here, the stress is on the last syllable (pa-a-YOS), whereas the verb is often stressed on the second syllable (pa-A-yos).
