EN: subject of a quarrel; reason for a fight
This is the "pinag-ugatan ng lahat." The last piece of pizza, who gets the remote, or that 'seen' message with no reply. Anything can be a pag-aawayan if you're both hangry or stressed enough. In relationships, the usual suspects are money, time, or selos.
From the `pag-…-an` circumfix (denoting cause or locus) and the root `away` (fight).
ROOT MEANING: fight; quarrel; conflict
Often used to denote the specific cause or topic of a conflict.
