EN: straight ahead; directly
When you ask a jeepney driver for directions and he says 'diretso lang,' this is the action. Going straight ahead, no detours, no side trips. Kinda like how you should go home after getting your salary, but we all know that's not what happens.
From 'pa-' (denoting direction) + 'diretso' (straight), from Spanish 'derecho'.
